Well I am posting some pictures of just why the "posts" have been few. Can't stay up all night every night and play in the shop, then get cleaned...
Jalopy Jim. You are a success in my book, you started and haven't stopped. You realized a problem and sought information. You are learning and...
I just got goose-bumps. You sir are a true metal craftsman. Beautiful, beautiful art. Thank you.
Thanks John. The compressed air is also a very good shrinking tool and a lot less messy. I would like to see most projects in 18 gauge with a...
Your statement is true. With one cravat, you, being a metal fabricator, would not allow heat to accumulate at the weld or throughout the panel...
Without putting my hands on the metal, and getting a feel of what the metal is doing, I hesitate at offering a solution to your problem. That...

Long and looooooowww, just like I remember. Big road sled, great power and ride. It burned gallons of that reddish purple colored gas, (great...
You are to be congratulated on letting this vehicle rise from the ashes. I would like to say that from your first post on this truck I think you...
Just some pics of projects. The center of the Henry's roof had to be cut out from the front windshield to about seven inches forward of the rear...
Oh man, you are a righteous metal slapper my friend. I read through all the posts and the pics make my mouth water. Just hope that that NHRA...
Ok. I apologize for the use of the term "rodent" rod. I am thanking all those who spent time and energy education me. Bill

Name is Bill Phillips and I am in the middle of nowhere Montana along with 5 other old guys who love building rods, restoring old iron (every...
