So glad to see you are moving forward with this project. You seem more...relaxed! It is a good look on you. Great seat...don't be so down on yourself: new cutter, new software, new bead roller and techniques. Good job all around. Thanks for sharing and bringing it to the forum. ChelanJim

Thanks Jim! I’m not down on myself; I’m pretty stoked, really. I just (try to) hold myself to a high standard. Thanks for saying hey. Miss everybody…

Good to see you back! The seats look killer!

Thanks Steve! I’ll try to keep up some kind of regularity. It’s been hard to find my groove.

Wow, a new video! Good to see that you got that plasmatable figured out. So it looks like the software/aligning purgatory is over and the fun starts now!

I sure hope so, my friend. So far, so good. 😊

Cool seat. I am a woodworker and I have always wanted to do one of these out of plywood. I think the layers would give a cool look.

I agree. It would look somewhat appropriate too, because stock seats from cars of this era are wood, so…party on!

Seats turned out really nicely. You going to be running a seat cushion as well? A mate repurposed the old leather off an used couch to cover a seat cushion and it fitted in with his rat rod really well.

Thanks Simon! Yeah, I’m not sure exactly what kind of cushion yet, but I’ll put something in there. I think I’m leaning towards a waxed canvas though; something with a Mil-Surp look to it.

Good seeing your still kicking it in the shop. I've been distracted with pulling some new treasures home. If you have a few mins to lose check out my 34 tudor barn find vid...it was a decent one.

I will look it up. I’m about to crack into those rivets, because I only have so many clecos, but I’m hoping to cover it in a step by step assembly video once I dial in all of my processes. Thanks for sticking with me! -Casey

I dig this and will keep you in mind if I dont run the captains chairs from a suburban

You’ve been making some good progress Casey. Table seems to be working well. Your seats have a good look for sure. Good to see you again. Been working on my A nonstop and lost count but I’m guessing 200+ hours so far on my repaint but unfortunately no vids. On a side note. This morning at 0430 there was a white out , well on the 25th floor of the Atlantis in Reno, noticed it when I went to retrieve wifey from the slots. Take care my friend. 👍👍👍

What!? Ron, you’re in town? It’s been a really weird winter, or so I hear. Good to see you. Hope she was on a run. 😊

Great content, thanks for posting! Looking to buy a Langmuir Pro. Have experience with a CNC Router, so I’m hoping the learning curve isn’t too steep. :)

Thank you very much! CNC experience definitely translates across platforms and machines, but the wild card with the plasma is EMI, since you’ve got such a strong emitter in the cutting unit. After going through the process, my main advice to everyone so far has been to buy the Hypertherm plasma cutter. They make up for a lot of the price difference with their quality workmanship and their very detailed cut charts, BUT the added bonus is that their units seem to be better shielded than a lot of the overseas ones. In the grand scheme of the total purchase it takes it from like $5000 all-in to closer to $7000. That $2000 savings cost me at least 30 solid days of trouble-shooting time. Good luck, and please bug me if you have questions, get stuck…whatever.

Glad to see progress!! A few questions. What transmission are you using and are you using anything to replace the torque tube to prevent axle rotation? Second, do you have a measurement from the radiator mount holes to the engine mounts? Thanks!

@crazycaseyscustoms

Hey Travis. I’m not 100% sure which transmission it is; it’s a 3 speed, and it’s got a huge drop from first to second, so I’m thinking it might be a truck box. I’m using the rear bones, split in a similar manner to my front bones, to control axle wrap. Radiator to engine mount holes are only about 6-1/2 inches apart, but my radiator is pushed forward a few inches from the mounting holes, so I don’t think you can do much with that info.

I’ve had it in and out of the shop a couple times in the last few months, but infrastructure and customer projects have kept me from making any significant progress on it. I hope to have it back in the shop next month for a big push to get the engine in and fired up.

Hay just set up the camera and let us watch good or bad! Thats the best part. ( JD Style)
