Projects Gambino going to town on my 39

holy crap thats going to be one sick ride!

 

Thanks Can't wait to get it home for the mock up. Alex is doing a killer job. He has a full page on his face-book with a lot more photos, Check it out

 

Here is some fill

 

Thats too kool. Alex is one of the best. Gonna be a really nice ride.

 

Looks like it's going to turnout nice! Keep us updated

 

Well......you gave it to the right guy!!!! Alex does some great stuff....I'll be following this one,for sure!
I want to see what a chopped 39 looks like with fenders. I think Dan Collins Pick-up is chopped with fenders,right?

 

beautiful work so far. looking forward to more pics as it progresses.

 

i saw the pics on fb yesterday lookin good pop29

 

Looking good. Keep the progress pictures coming.

 

Nice.... youll have to bring it to our little BBQ when its all done.

We were checkin out Gambinos shop the other day when we went to a Sharks game. Nice guy, took time to show us a few projects and gave us a tour. That Zephyr is badass.... those floor panels were very well thought out.

Your truck should turn out pretty nice. From the pictures it looks like its turning out nice.

 

Great to have an illustration of what the finished product will look like. Blasting the sheetmetal before the chop is the way to go. This will be a great project to follow.

 

ive been following this on facebook,looks great, bit scary seeing those hoodie pulls dangling near the spinning grinder,tuck em in

 

This is goind to be a cool truck build , the progress looks good.

 

Looks like they are doing a great job on it. I like the concept of the truck too. But most of all I like seeing how Alex is doing the chop and I can use a few of his methods to make my own body modifications work better this time.

That is going to be one good looking truck when it is done.

 

Glad to see this getting built. I had dreams of building the rendered version, but Alex will make it about a thousand times better, and the Nailhead will be awesome. Will be following this closely.

Wow, excellent work. Reminds me of when I got a metal grinding chip in my eye and doctor "picked" it out. I was wearing safety glasses, but wished I had worn a full face shield.

 

Very nice, look forward to watching this build.

 

Awesome work guys

 

I will be at BBQ as soon as it is running . Yes Alex has a cool shop

 

Hi Eric Glad you like the progress.

 

Yes looking good! I need to update that rendering for you with correct motor. Settled on a color?

Leaning toward medium green , may be some flake

 

What is the purpose of 90 and then a curved cut?

 

Way Kool!

 

Having done a fair bit of this sort of thing myself, it's so that you can put filler panels in areas of high crown. And by zig zagging to different planes in the process, you don't invent a new profile, but work with what's there.


Ohhhh, and excellent work Alex. Now, let's talk about faceshields (with safety glasses below and maybe even hearing protection) shall we??

 

Eric, I remember seeing your renderings a couple years ago on a similar truck... looking good with everyone involved, and pops29, It will be KILLER...
Later,
Billy

 

Gotta agree with Tinman, excellent craftsman, I'm a fan for sure, but would feel pretty bad for Mr. Gambino if one of those carbide discs exploded into his jugular. At least put a guard on the grinder.

 

Yeah, I'm a Gambino fan too... First class work all the way.
But I gotta agree with the comments above. MR. G., you're way too valuable to lose... safety my man, safety!
