Some work from my shop

Yes sir. 64.

 

Read most of the thread. This is a good thread. Love pics and showing us/me how you do things.

I am learning as I go. But shitty tools don't help either. Like my crappy h/f bead roller and unmatched dies they provide you with. So there is still a learning curve. And these sort of comments are what I need to carry on! Thank you.

 

A lot more progress on the merc lately. It's the only thing I have been working on.

placing the gas tank



building some floor around it



starting the floor over the notch





trap doors for access to the air bags complete with fasteners to hold them down and keep them from being noisy



accuair leveling system and tank/compressor mount



from the inside



rear seat still needs the arm rest installed



with the front seats installed



my 2 year old approves!



started placing thisngs where I wanted for the center console. WARNING THIS IS NOT 100% HAMB FRIENDLY! There is going to be throttle body injection on it...







then I got started on the steering column. The guy that owns this is about 6'6" or so maybe taller and weighs about 300-320 lbs. So he needs the room but I have to be able to drive it as well since he will not be state side for a bit longer. How will it get to ca shows otherwise right?! Anyway.. this explains the power driver's seat and the steering column location.





the wood that you see for the console is going to be the buck to hammerform what I want rather than building it from wood. This pattern will be used to ensure that everything stays below the top of the comsole in the meantime to be sure everything fis correctly.

 

Nice work, Shannon. Merc is coming together!

 

you need to come out and see me about chopping your ford.

 

Nice work man!

 

thanks! did you ever get that wagon?

 

Sadly no...however now that I am all graduated I am looking for a new job..then who knows.

 

Feels good to be done with that part huh? Was so relieved to be done with school when I finished. But then comes the stress of finding a job!

 

You are correct sir.

 

Nice clean work !!!! Congrat's.

 

Any more pics of the '47 Clipper?? You folks do great work!

 

Thanks a lot!

I wish I did! I do somewhere I think but the hell if I know where. If I find them, I will post them for sure.

Those of you on Facebook, Pot O'Gold Kustoms now has a new page at: https://www.facebook.com/PotOGoldKustoms

 

Thanks pete! Here are a few photos of some more stuff we have been building lately. This year is off to a great start!

First some " kustom " work from a truck that a customer's brother in law was building for him before it got to me.









YEAH.. well... so here is some of what we ended up doing. We built new rockers, floor, firewall, and toeboards from scratch for it. We still have a ways to go of course, but she looks good all mocked up.

 

And this is for ralph. Here you go buddy!







and both pontiac quarter panels are tacked on now. Looks pretty cool!

 

And a bed we are building from scratch for the 31 model a pickup.

 

Shannon you and April have done me right, Thanks
