TECH: Filling a Deuce shell...purists beware!!

We're not worthy, we're not worthy. I want to learn to do work like that one of these days. I have not talent and I see 3 or 4 potential trips to the ER in that process. Not to mention all the purists that are, at this moment, blocking you from thier buddy lists. Good work man. BTW, I think Just Dug wants the piece you cut out, just a guess though.

 

I have an old one that was done that way, tacked in two place from the bottom and then filled with lead.

 

The best part of Gennie stuff is getting to cut it up, good job

well i,m not a purist, but i do like the stock bodies. I have mixed feelings about cuttin on them oldies from way back, mainly becuz there were guys that were taking the fenders off 32 3 windows, and roadsters etc. and scrapping them, especially the jalopy derby guys. They seemed to be everywhere picking up dueces, 33 , 34' etc. People were donating them to these guys and you could watch em' being crumpled on TV with old 'Leather Britches' Dick Lane on KTLA describing the mayhem. My buddy sold a cherry primered duece 3 window to a guy and he decided to drag race it so he punched louvers top to bottom on that thing doors fenders everything, filling a shell was nothing compared to those guys.

 

But they didnt use the shells, they used 48 ford radiators, they sold 'em to Ansen and Ford obsolete, for big bucks! gggg

 

That's because you can't cut people up.

At least not legally. HAHAHAHA!

I like it, I like it A LOT! But what I like the mostest, is the smiling finger........that one's certainly a keeper.

 

its all good if you dont get caught!
the deuce shell looks great!!

 

btw is there such a thang as a purist on the H.A.M.B.??

 

Purist maybe???

 

Is the other guy with the cut piece next to his ear ,
" your Paint & Bodyman "



Looks good and clean!

 

I also have a oldie that was tacked on the back and filled with A 1/4'' of bondo , it started to crack. I think i'll try your way. Good post sweet ride!!
