Brian here… I’m 23, single and a glorified welder. Not too much to say, I’m a pretty quiet guy and tend to keep to myself most of the time. Currently I’m working on starting up a welding shop in northwestern Wisconsin so hopefully everything will work out as easy as possible but I’m not going to get my hopes up. I found an 8,000 sq. ft building to rent for $500 per month, it’s not much but it’s a start non the less. My family is helping out thanks to my mother who is also looking for some space in the same building to start a Feed and Tack store. I’m currently working on a 1965 Chevrolet C10 LWB, I’m finishing up the clay model and fixing the cancer so I can have a "clean" base to start my build from. I have a lot of work yet to do on CAD and Solidworks however that should all be finished up in a month or two. After surfing through the endless sea of un-originality and idea thieves. I think I’ve finally come up with my direction with this project that will lead me to a place where no one has come to before. Hopefully it’ll all work out and everyone will be pleased with it. I’d rather not divulge my plans or idea for fear of someone else making it they’re own and claiming sole ownership of it’s birth. There’s nothing I hate more than an individual who takes someone else’s ideas making them their own with no credit what so ever to the originator. This truck is something that has been a dream of mine for quite some time now and hopefully it’ll get my image in the limelight one day, one feature in a mag someday is all I ask even though it’s a lot to ask for! Until then I’ll stay humbly cooped up in the shop welding and cutting away. All right well to shorten this up…I love cars, trucks, old Peterbilts, Old motorcycles, and pretty much anything with wheels and an engine. However I despise the new fangled cars coming out of Detroit these days, I don’t like plastic spaceship looking under-powered trash bins that currently inhabit America’s highways. But that’s just my opinion. Thank you for your time and I appreciate reading about everyone’s projects and learning "new" techniques people are using in construction of they’re own hot rods. I really like seeing the original ideas that flow through some of these projects that I’ve been following occasionally. Later Gator! Keep it Original!
Welcome from Waukesha. Good luck getting started in your business. Hope you have time to keep going on your truck, it sounds interesting.
Welcome from Kenosha! There are a lot of us Cheeseheads here on the HAMB, but there is always room for more.
Hey thanks everybody I rather enjoy how much this forum has to offer as far as all the tech info. Thanks BB I'm hoping I can pull something together starting a shop. Anyways maybe somebody can help me out... I'm looking for 28'- 34' truck/sedan cab/shell and I don't really care how rotted it is I can fix anything. All I need is the cab, I can make the rest of the truck from scratch. I want to build either an extended cab or a hidden fourth door truck. Otherwise a T-Bucket would be cool, I've got a mod lakes roadster in mind. So which ever one I come across first will get built. I can have a really sweet early Ford Indy engine that needs a home if I come up with a project worthy of it... I have to have more than one project going at a time and with only one right now I'm almost losing it! Thanks for your time everyone!
Welcome from Dousman. There's a 32 chevy truck cab, front clip on ebay right now. Item #180083306905. I was thinking about it but I've got too many projects now. It's located in the Green Bay area. Steve
Whoa yea that's a good deal there and it's a heavy Chevy too! I just may have to bid on that or maybe talk him into selling it outright if that's possible. Even the fenders look nice which is a plus cause I was seriously thinking full fendered with this project if I could find em...
Hey Brian... welcome to the HAMB. I've got a welding business up here in Cable... out in the middle of the sticks... Wisconsin. Good luck. I might have a rod project for you, too... and some thoughts and ideas... JOE
