    The frame that I have Ionia is the only that I am prepared to risk my life for in my home. It's that nice! Can't wait to see this "A" come together.

    Cool, Matt! Thanks!

    The welds look great.

    So, what do you do with the x-member? Do you trim it to put that Pete and Jakes mount in and the fit the pieces back in?


    More pics!!! :D

    Looks purty! It's very cool to see it shape up from a set of rails.

    Thanks for continually posting. It was a long day and I was hoping to see something posted here.

    Looks great, Matt! I think those mounts will be awesome.

    I can't wait to see it. I'm 99% sure we're going to the L.A. Roadster show and it'll be cool to see it there, as well as meet a bunch of HAMBers.

    IHRS is a great group of guys... take note fellas... save your pennies and deal with these cats. :D

    I met the guys of Iona Hot Rod Shop there at the LA Roadster Show. Those guys do amazing work!!! They had the 32' frame for this model a there in their display so I brought it home with us. The frame is amazing, so much detail and yet so clean. Its a shame to cover this one up.

    I am watching this one. I wish I would have got to the booth at LARS. I missed that aisle for some reason. I'm gonna order some boxing plates today. They are tough.
