have i been living in a cave?? have you seen this guys work??

that battery box alone is better than any kinda shit I will build. there was a post here about dressing welds. His exhaust should be the poster image for weld dressing. fucking sick.

 

Just wanted to let this side know,, I posted some pics, on the myspace showing how to chop 28/29 Stantions i'd post on this side but can do it faster on the space,, I'll get to understand how this site works,, soon.. Thanks again ~S

 

As cool is the stuff he does is I figured he had ice...

 

"the devil is in the details"... and a "little" patience... and a ton of talent... and gobs of creativity... and... and ... great stuff S!!

 

Very nice work Steve.

 

Outstanding work for sure! This will inspire me to pay more time and attention to the little things.

 

man that some strong stuff! I spoke to sellers about his 50 ford, that was way cool, good guy! he was more than happy to answer my questions!

 

Freaking incredible work!

 

No shit. This whole thread and his myspace site is making my re-think most of my work!

I know I'm going to take a second and third look at everything I weld now. Cole had the same effect on me too. It's no wonder it's taking me so damn long to build this damn car. Now I have another person to blame it on. Thanks Steve!

Very nice work! I really admire the artistic design more than anything, since thats the part I cannot do.

 

Way cool.

THAT is the funniest thing I think I've ever seen on the HAMB.

Steve is the real deal. He did my 1955 Buick.

You'll notice some very non-'55 things on this dash. The A/C vents probably catch your eye. Those don't come on just any '55 Buick. Steve did that. Also, you probably don't get the touch screen hidden under the center speaker grill. That grill slides from left to right to reveal the touch screen when I want to see it.

Steve did a killer job on the mechanics, metal, and just plain pure art on this project.

He built this center console for me. It is metal. I'll say that again - it is *metal*. The dude worked with some raw product, some basic tools, and a whole bunch of talent and built this wonderful chunk of art and style:


Oh, yeah... that is an AC outlet on the side. You never know if you are going to need some power for a blender or laptop or something. The other side of the console sports a USB port. Most Buick's don't need these, but this one does because of all of the custom software that drives that touch screen.

Oh, and the dude did the entire engine compartment. Don't look at this if you get envy sick easily.



Yup, that's all Sellers under there. The guy does origami with some of the hardest materials on earth. He can turn eighth inch steel into a bird, hat, or intake. You name it. And... I think he does it with vise grips. Steve don't need no million dollar equipment for his magic. This stuff is perfect. Flawless.

I'm proud to know Steve Sellers and love driving the car that Steve was instrumental in building for me.

There is a bunch more information on this great car at http://www.55buick.com/Project/index.html.

 

thats some serious talent there. thanks for the insight...cadillac dave

 

Thank's Andy fer posting yer link.. about the car,, sure guys,, it's fuely, or has a carputar... chit was knew to me,, When he told me what he was doing himself ,, bulding the carputar, ,I tripped.. Sure theres noo 97's or that 39 box with Zephyr gears,, No 2 5/8's curve face winged gauges.. its about the build the design,, the thought.. It was a fine line to walk in combining the best of both worlds.. again The appreciation for the love of the cars.. ~S,

 

i was just checking out the "Carputer" link you posted on Myspace Steve. cool stuff... the rest of you should check it out even if you not into the high tech thing. it's some neat stuff..

http://www.55buick.com/Carputer/carputer.htm

 

That is some of the most amazing work I've ever seen, the guy has some serious vision...
and how bout the finger puppet cameos to..

 

nice to see steve sellers gettin the respect he's due.

the RJ (#14) with his ford and Pat Lash's 59 wagon is the best issue ever if you ask me.

good to have you here steve.

 

I'm amazed....that metal work is fabulous!!! All this time when I used to live in SJ didn't even know he was in town..

 

Thats, whats up Steve!Iam glad to see he s doing well.It looks like he might get the hang of it.

 

shit son...sellers is blowing up. bump for recent press.

 

Hats off man-that's art!

 

I am aware that there was situation that occurred about a week ago regarding Steve Sellers.

I just wanted to say a few things before anyone puts this one to bed.

Steve is a true friend, my wife and I have always considered him as a part of our family.

Not too many people have had a privilege to know Steve Sellers like I have.

I am sure you all know him as an amazing Craftsman.
On a personal level, Steve is also one of the most honest and generous people that I have met in my time of building cars. Together we have shared a lot of good times; good laughs and came up with some great idea’s.

Since I first met Steve, He has given a major contribution to my personal experience building cars.
The guy has been like an older brother to me. He has always gone the extra mile to help me out; even in a time when not too many others wanted to help a young kid out that no one ever heard of.

Whether it was Steve wanting to show me better ways to work sheetmetal, letting me use tools that I could not afford to own myself, giving me input on my designs or drawings, Or even late nights at the shop teaching me how to setup and spin out my own parts from a mammoth prewar lathe.

Like Steve, I taught myself how to build. I went from swinging wrenches on Vw’s to Building my first hotrod single-handedly fresh out of high school. (Pre discovery channel)

Steve is the guy that has always dug on my ideas, and gets off on seeing others with desire and imagination.

Unlike many out in the (scene), with Steve it’s never been about who you knew, how you look or where you come from. For him, it was to see a crazy kid thinking outside the box, and so eager to do things different than everyone else. He's a dude just like me, maybe even Just like you.

I can sit here for day’s and spit about my buddy Steve.


I know Steve has a tendency to take a lot of things to heart and might even become standoffish because of it; Personally, I feel he has a lot to offer this site, not only as a builder but as a person.

No matter what, I'll always have My boy steve's back! I'll take him with me till the end

I am not here to make amends for anyone, or give excuses for anyone’s actions.

I have the utmost respect for my fellow HAMBers and to Ryan for creating such an ingenious network filled with some of the most skillful hands of our time.



I just felt I owed a few words to a good friend I know as Steve , you all know him as Sellers.

 

amen rustypipes....

 

sellers has a good write up about the whole drama thing on here. its on his myspace page.

 

i only wish I had the raw talent he and others display here.Thanks for sharing
