Projects "Rusty Cheese" 29 Model A BUILD

C-notch time. My instructor had this home made handy dandy compass for the cutting torch that worked like a charm.

 

The C clamp worked great to suck the strap into the c-notch. Cut the ends off and TIG, Grind repeat. OHH ya, then file and make pretty!

 

You got that right. You give me crap about never seeing me take pictures but they end up on my thread. I see you taking pictures all the time but i never see them on here.

Damn newbies! Do a nice intro up above, let these folks know you arent a yokel. And we are going to wait for the Sat HAMB Breakfast until after Turkeyday. Unless you want to this weekend, I am on call. Plus, post pics of your 35 chop, pure sex there.............................

 

Wow , A handfile ....

 

I was waiting for you to chop me in the balls!! I was hoping to slide under the radar, oh well, I did get a bunch done on the chop tonight, and I was looking forward to the windmill and trays hitting the floor, you should stop by the shop the boys are doing a stand up job on there prodjects!!!!

 

I need to get over to visit, crazy stuff going on here, the Tudor is getting some major steroids.

 

Cross Member time...

 

Going back to check some measurements on the frame layout... started by cutting up a piece of box tubing.

 

Grinding. Scored the metal for a nice clean bend.

 

heat, bend, tack weld. then drill the hole too big. OOPS.

 

Lets build the frame!
I made symmetrical punches for proper measurements.
Ride height set at 6"
Tacked to the frame bench, centered with the laser.

 

keep it up..looks great

 

Moving on to the rear Z.

 

Final check to make sure we are square with the world.
Looks good. Time to weld and make pretty.

 

Time to weld in the front cross member.
Look mom no hands...

Curt, Looks like you are off to a great start on your Hot Rod ! Looking forward to more updates as you make progress.

 

MIG over the TIG, Grind and make pretty. Sure looks easy in the photos...

 

Not sure "Fomocokid" Kellen agrees.
