Customs Cody Walls builds the E Job !!!

Looking Killer, love how it’s turning out , does not look like you are getting much warpage Are you using ER70S2 or S6 and what diameter? True craftsman ship. Frank

 

Incredible.

 

What an incredible build. A real beauty. You have been blessed with amazing skills.

 

Mad Skills,Late to the party..

 

It’s funny you should ask , originally the b piller was leaned back 3-4 degrees, I leaned it forward 3-4 degrees and rounded the top . But without having a stock one next to it it looks like it should of came that way

 

I’m using Tig er70s2 , .035 I look at metal differently than most people . Metal doesn’t warp . It’s shrinks or stretches . When you weld it shrinks causing a distortion . Once it gets stretched back out(hammer on dolly) it goes back to its relaxed state , something that can only be done with Tig or torch welding, something you can’t do with a mig

 

Thank you

 

Thank you , I think of it more like a crazy obsession ,and messing up an awful lot of metal in the past

 

I learned to do bodywork in the 50’s From a man who did body work during the Great Depression and WWII Russ could fix anything with anything. He taught me how to weld and control warpage, the best place to splice panels together. How to pull hail dents with a torch. We did was welded with a Acetylene torch. We even hade a Acetylene generator to make our gas, my first job was cleaning the muck out of it. I use ER70S2 same as you and been happy with it. I use ER70S6 in my mig
I really can appreciate the work you do and congratulate your work and skill set.

Jaw dropping!

 

WOW doesn't even need paint just some elbow grease and steel wool.

 

Just found this thread. So glad I stopped in! Killer job!

 

Linin' up ribs with bolts, grille teeth and radiator grooves is just rubbing it in our faces @Cody Walls. Looking fantastic as always!!!!

 

I think Harley Earl would approve! I have dreams of having talent like this, I lie to my wife and tell her they were about other women.

 

I love the little trick with the taillights, moving them back, to get rid of the step in the fender.

 

Ready for the Jalopyrama

 

Lemme guess, the boss ( your wife) insisted, didn’t she.
