Hi everyone, we made a hood, hood brackets, radiator shell and the front brass emblem for a 1910 IHC. Next it will be sent to paint and body then back to the customer for final assembly.

Here’s a 1910 model 18 Packard oil tank that Sam is in the middle of making. You can see the tank on the right side suffered from the cylinder jug blowing off the crank case, It also broke and bent the main mounting plate. A few details are left and then the tank will be completed.

1928 Rolls Royce Phantom 1. The front and rear steel fenders are original with a few repairs. The cowl, rear section and lower portion of the doors were replaced and they are made out of aluminum. The front splash pan was scratch built as well. You can see more of this cars progress on our...

Yeah no doubt, thanks for watching!

Hi everyone, here is a short video of a 1910 White steam car tank Sam replaced in the shop https://www.instagram.com/p/CtKKaimxMS0/?hl=en

Check out Joe Rincon's before and after upholstery work he's been doing on the Oakland. This is another service provided here at the shop.

Sam was given some photos and key dimensions for a front pan for the 28 Rolls P1. Check out the development of this project and completion video https://www.instagram.com/p/Cr_loETuTTH/?hl=en

Yeah that looks fantastic!

Thanks for the info, I figured it was fuel lines and not a tank issue

Yeah same with us. We have read that it does react and that it doesn't react but we have made a bunch of copper tanks in the past and haven't ran into any issues so far (knock on wood)

Yeah, we are hoping to see it polished for a few years to show it off then paint it after

Yes, originally these tanks were painted. We checked Rockauto first but it looks like it's on backorder with no eta in sight :sneaky:

It was but we were thinking just polish it temporary then paint it.

Thanks! Hopefully🤞

Yes it is but it would come out pretty cool. Originally it was painted but I think having it copper for a few years and having it painted black on the ends and nickeled in the middle would look cool or paint it :confused:

Thanks! Hopefully the owner does for a while but not sure yet

Sam made a new copper gas tank for a 1915 Stutz Bearcat. Here is a few photos and a link of the video on how it was made from start to finish. Should the tank be unpainted and polished or painted? :unsure: https://www.instagram.com/p/CrOJj3DgyIQ/?hl=en

Very nice, yeah the Gullwing's are beautiful cars. We have a 1928 Rolls Phantom 1 Hibbard and Darrin coach built in the shop and it needed woodwork and metal work. I will do a posting of it next week

That sounds really cool. I'm sure it did take him a long time to make. What was the name of the shop that built high end cars? Yeah it's an art and takes time, patience and practice.

Thanks! Looking good, that's the best way to start is by using hand tools and working your way up to a power hammer and Pullmax etc.
