Metal Work
Was over on the H.A.M.B. earlier today. Not over there much, but they got some cool stuff from time to time. Anyhow, found a metal working link of all their home built/fabbed parts from just plain ole sheet metal. None the less I was inspired to bring the idea here. With bits and pieces of metal in Ye Ole 64GMC that needs to be cut out and replaced, some of which there is no repops, Im going to have to make them myself. Any of you <choosing words wisely> veterans have any pics of hand made body parts for these trucks? Even repops that youve had to modify to fit just right. Using good ole elbow grease, a hammer, beater bag, dollys, even home made tools. Also tips on how you did it. Kinda fits somewhat into my dash post due to Im kinda thinking about making parts of it. Anyhow, the dash post has inspired me once again, and perhaps this post will also. Still trying to get out of the "im broke, after christmas, time to get back to work" tail draggin attitude. Ive realized, with much credit to you guys, that there is a ton of stuff that can be done with little to no cash if I just get off my bohunkus and get busy. Not trying to stand on a soap box or anything, but I sincerely would like to thank everyone that posts their progress, ideas, and other projects on here. Opens up a vast amount of inspiration and new ideas to keep the ball rolling on the 64 GMC. Good job to you all!
Here is the hamb link as well. Alot of cool stuff made by hand. Wish I knew how to do it...http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...=metal+shaping
