Finally making some headway at the frame shop. We’ve got a roller, team. We’re collaborating on buttoning up the front panel now that we’ve got the body set on the frame. Should be heading to paint shop shortly.

I always make sure to purchase abrasives that are rated for stainless steel - much better life and the increase in price is offset by the life of the abrasive.

You must have read my mind - I've got some chromed lense material from old MC helmet that may work, or I've got some various plexi sitting around. Probably going to have to work in some kind of cupholder for the juice boxes. This one's gonna be at least a 2 seater.

Stretch Limo. Will be adding drivers seat back to splice location

Distracting myself with more pedal car fun… Had two that were parts bin pieces I’ve had, each for one reason or another but they were the same model. Little time staring at them in the rolling chair and got a plan together. Started taking the black one apart first. Someone started...

Don’t laugh fellas - I’ve had this old space heater I nabbed out of the scrap for a little while now, as it had some handy looking shapes and whatnot. Got a new daughter so that means a new pedal car - Got what I wanted out of the space heater, scribed some lines and cut the holes. Got the...

Depends on the position & what you are doing but all of the above can be used if that's on hand! Do you have a set of panel splitters / chisels? Those are very helpful. If you are trying to save one of the panels for re-use, I really don't like to drill through both of them - I like to use a...

Alright boys - this is the end of the line. Loaded up the box into the trailer and pushed it out. Next time it’s back here, it’ll be rolling on its own. It still may not look like much, but my friend told me to take care of all the rust and metal work, and he’d handle the rest, and if he...

Alright gents, we’ve been doing this a while and we’re through with our obligation. These past few weekends and finally this weekend, we’ve finalized our portion of the assignment - remove & repair all rust and missing sheet metal, reassemble for delivery to frame shop & our friend at the...

Absolutely - All body tools are dressed or sanded before being put to use.

@MP&C - Love the truck. Awesome work on the new window parts. The inner door is very impressive - I love seeing the old stuff untouched and taking a peak inside. You've got one of the best threads on here as far as technical work goes. I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank you for...

Thank you! Lots of hours so far!

For what it is worth, when you're cutting sheet metal, I find it better to have the sheet being cut pretty well supported and rigid. It works well for cutting panels while they're affixed to the car because they have strength being attached. If you're cutting panels on the table or bench, you'll...

We burned the midnight oil this weekend getting things moving on the trailer. Started by mounting the newly fabricated roll pan in place temporarily. This aids in the future assembly of the bed floor. This piece being aftermarket, the fitment isn’t quite 100%, especially for an application...

I apologize for the walls not being the subject of these photos, but it’s all I have at the moment. The wall separating the sides of my shop is all recycled pallets. You can see it in the background. Took about 80 pallets to do the whole wall. They’re nailed to painted black OSB over 2x6...
