tech, hammerforming a 34 grill

heres a few close ups.

 

Jim your tech and pretty much any thing you post on the hamb is just amazing!! Your skills just makes my mind boggle. Nice one dude.

 

bad *** work !
you gots me thinkin

 

show off..........

Nice work Jim, I wish I had that old rusty '33 grille now.

 

Ain't it amazing what you can do with a little metal,welder a few hand tools and a grinder!! Good jod!

 

Congrats, that really is neat!

 

This is really helpful. Eventually I am going to have to build a turtle deck for my 26' Or bare minimum most of the curved parts. Thanks!

 

Your best work yet Jim.

 

Good stuff! Any ideas out there on making the vertical bars?

 

The vertical bars are easy. i just use thin wall steel tubing, like brake line tubing. Sandwich it between 2 pieces of angle iron in a vise. Cut to length and weld in place.

 

beautiful

 

thanks for all of the compliments. i have long wanted to contribute to the tech of the HAMB.I hope this hlps some guys realize that its just metal and we can all hold a hammer.

That's good stuff right there. Next, show us how to make rockers for a '34 Chevy truck!

 

Very impressive. When I look at that and how easy you made it seem I get inspired. Great work and thanks for posting it.

 

I just looked at the voting. wow. im speachless. i cant believe that many people would vote for something I did. Thanks.

 

wow man, thats fuking sweet,

 

This sure beats buying a drake for an arm and a leg! Awesome work!

 

WOW Awsome work

 

I just read your posts, what a great job you did on the grille you built. I did not no that you could hammerform that way. What gauge sheetmetal did you use?

 

Its all done in 18 guage. It is easier if you do it in 20, but I had 18 so that is what I used.
