1936 Roadster hand formed & other projects

I spaced & forgot to post some pictures of the rest of the quarter repair on the 64 Fairlane. This is what we started with the customer thought we would have to replace the panel. Notice the door gap is ugly also.


This is after a few hr's of hammer dolly & shrink disc work.


We found another door then welded up the trim holes & filled the door lock hole that was in the wrong spot.

Door gap is nice now.

Finished & ready for pick up.

More on other projects to come.

 

^^^^Good God Almighty!!! Amazing^^^^

 

Nice work! How much grief did you have to get the dolly or hammer inside that 1/4 panel to get it straight?

 

Some but we do it a lot, some times it takes both of us which it did on part of it.

 

Some finish details to the driver side.











Just a couple of small things to finish now then on to the right side.

 

Max had to make a few factory looking wiring hold downs.


On to the right side rust out.

Ah yes a quality fit panel from (Am muscle car don't waste your $$$ every thing that my customer's have bought from them are junk)


After some major rework & re beading to get the proper depth it is starting to look close.

Max had to make an extension to go farther up the toe board area.

The rebuilt piece now looks real close to original.

Old rotten metal cut out.

De rusted.

Por 15 apply ed.

More to come.

 

Amazing. Keep 'em coming!

 

Started welding in the front panel.





We have to do some under coat stripping & miscellaneous small thing's removal the body is going to the blast shop next Wednesday so when we get it back all the uglys will show up.

 

I just built a new E wheel for making panels.

 

A little self promotion this was our booth at Goodguys Puyallup Washington 2011.









Now back to our regular schedule program.

 

More progress on the 57 Pontiac after coming back from the blast shop. Looks like there just might be a build change now more to come on that later. Now here is what was done this week.
Finished welding & grinding the right front floor pan.

Por 15 coat the seam area.

The underneath was also por 15 coated then the next day seam sealer was applied.


Ah the low quality crapola floor pan from AMERICAN MUSCLE CAR the owner supplied.

After some rebeading & serious reshaping it is starting to look correct.

A little test fit & some more tweaking.

Old panel rough cut out.


More to come.

 

Major changes coming to this 4dr sedan keep watching.

 

A little more progress on the 57 Pontiac rear floor.





Keep watching major build change coming.

 

We had a 36 chev coupe come in with a crunch in the left front fender & broken bumper mount bracket. We are just doing a quick pound out & repair on the fender then put it in dp90 & fix the bumper problem for now then after the winter starts the car will come back in for quite a few things to fix, repair or change to make it a better driving car for the women owner.

























More to come

 

Great work going on here.
Mart.

 

Made a patch for the fender where all the crap weld was.





More on the way.

 

I picked up a parts car for the 57 Pontiac custom project.







Are you watching.

 

okay a build change with a 2-dr convertible parts car.

Hmmm... wonder what this change is.

Joe

 

Yes.

 

I finished welding the patch in the 36 Chev fender.



Next I need to fix the mickey mouse front bumper bracket.

 

Well we cut the parts car up.









Things are looking interesting.

Parts car???? In the midwest, that's a builder!!

 

The 36 chev is back on the road now till mid or end of October then it will be coming back for a lot of rebuild. The fender was only repaired enough so the owner could driver her rod thru the rest of the summer.





More to come so stay tooned in.

chris.

 

I have to say.... I am quite interested in what is going on with that Pontiac.
