Projects Pat pryor's <handmade> 32 roadster build

LOL thats too bad because i was really inspired and motivated by your A build.

 

Keep the updates coming this could turn out to be really cool.

 

thanks guys. tomorrow ill try to get the cowl structure started. just have to finish up the crap my girlfriend wants me to do.

 

Saw your picture in the mug shot thread on here the other day. Good thing you look and fabricate better than you spell.

Keep up the good work...

 

Just check out how beefy, relatively, the small Lancaster style shrinkers are that are sold by places like Eastwood. Scale that up for a larger deep-throat model. Also check out the group-build shrinker on AllMetalShaping.com forum. It's as frame is built like that for a reason.

FWIW, the frame of the Harbor Freight deep-throat shrinker is considered weak, and it has a much smaller throat than your frame with roughly the same thickness material.

Pressure exerted is on the order of thousands of pounds.

 

Very cool project you have going here! You definitely have some skills!

 

i cant get access to the links. i even registered. i would like to see them.

 

thanks

 

No problem. I'm looking over your coupe thread now. Holly cow bat man. That is sweet!

 

Did you do an "intro" at the site? They like to know what people are working on or looking to get out of the site before they grant full access. Pretty easy. I'm sure they'd love to see your roadster project.

 

ok cool ill get to it eventually. thanks buddy

 

ok the pile of parts survived the winter. and i got a new..well better shape tire. lets see what i could get done today the goal is subrails and floor.

 

Nice day to get stuff done!! So it will be done for the Showdown, right?? lol

 

lol yea just let me blow the dust off my magic wand.

 

Word!! hahahaha....

 

That sounds dirty....

Keep it goin', Pat!

 

ok got some stuff done this weekend may not look like much but this is the most important part of the body. so tried getting as much done as I could but still managed to get distracted. plus going to the city last night till 5 am wasn't a good idea either. so now the subframe is about 60% done still need it finish up welding putting the lower body line on the outer rails, then the rear half. next step after that is rear floor pan and cowl support and cowl sides. hopefully ill have that by next weekend. I want this body close to done by august.

 

also can anyone take this measurement for me please?? its under the cowl for cowl support.

 

looks like 1 1/8

 

lol

 

Go , Pat , go !

 

I'll be watching this show, best of luck with the build.
