How many hours did it take to layout and punch this trunk lid?

 

Nice!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

Cleaning up in the shop and found these photos. Punched the holes and built the nerf bars quite a while back. Customer was a super nice guy. One thing that always stood out, a couple of times when he was in my shop BSn with me his wife sat in his truck reading while we were yacking for a long time. I asked him about that and he replied "She does the same thing when I go dirt bike riding". My bride, no way. They really need to get that clone thing sorted.

 

1920's Auburn hood sides I have in the Cl***ified ads.

 

I guess you've decided on a different approach on the Custom A Steelback Bob? What's the plan...that's a really neat project...

This timeless image was shared by @Germ in a recent thread a****st a plethora of period images and paperwork he possesses in his ever expanding collection of vintage memorabilia...

Auburn hood tops will allow for a longer hood, and longer ch***is wheelbase. Been watching louvers being cut on a Pullmax, plan to have the sides punched with a Type 50 Bugatti style louver that I really like.

 

That's a great alternative to using those rare pieces, good on you Bob...

Looks vaguely familiar.

 

When accuracy counts :

 

The guy that punched the louvers in the hood of my 66 Suburban put a laser setup on his louver press, they are dead straight.

 

Everything helps. . .I dig my setup

 

Thanks always for sharing @lo c dan...I'm just an admirer, you fellas are the Artisans...kinda like Pinstripers really...you have to think of so much more than just stepping on the pedal...

Nice work...

 

Thank you @Stogy I really enjoy each challenge. .
