    That's some nice body work there brother, flawless job on roughing in, you hardly left any room for body filler. Overall, the gaps and seams are perfect. Not only is it an insane amount of custom sheet metal work to take on but each side also has to be symmetrical and mirrored. Awesome work Tony, keep up the great content.

    Thank you for sharing your talent. My timing watching this is excellent! I've converted an old rust 60s chevy c10 pickup bed onto a 90s hydraulic dump trailer! There are two tailgates, so i can easily haul long lumber, or haul kayak easily. Also, it has no fender wells, so it keeps the full 6 foot width. (Its basically a flatbed, with a pickup bed stalling 2x12s, sitting on old cragars. I'm keeping with the ratrod style! Hope to catch the looks from new diesel pickups at the dump with jelopy trailer... simply backing up to dump the load (with a cup of coffee!) Lol

    _TRIED_ my first cut n butt operation from memory a few weeks back - scared myself to death slicing into good metal, got all the angles wrong and warped it all out of shape and burned a load of holes. Other than that, it was fairly successful! Just lucky I picked a spot no-one will ever see.

    Coming along. Looking real good! A friend of mine gas welded his steel tube frame for his altered drag car using coat hangers. He originally had a flat head, then quickly a Y-block (312) with 3 deuces, then fuel injection and he cut off the crank snout, made his own timing cover and used a fuel pump mount intended for a SBC. The seat was a fiberglass one purchased at a store and it had steel legs - highly not allowable today as this was a household chair with some covering. He did put in a small block Chevy then reverted back to the Y-block. After being red lighted at the light with his foot on the brake, he and 3 others stopped drag racing selling their perspective cars, 2 gassers and this altered. Wm Wright bought it sans engine and raced it a lot. Here is a link tshowing the car at the top doing a wheelie. Wm. had to weld the frame due to a crack where the rear axle mounted. The car is being refurbished this year after it almost being parted out by a "friend". Here is a link with photo taken at Cecil County Dragway: www.ebay.com/str/williamw1278?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2563 He started selling photos of things he took locally back in the day and it has evolved. I hope to visit and see the progress and offer help.
