BADASS WORK !!

Sorry Jey, i didn't mean to come off like i was baggin n ya! I know we have had many discussions regarding steel and glass. I just thought it was a refreshingly different thing to do to a glass '37. There are sooo many 1937 fords out there, some standout some don't, but that one will be remembered for a longtime to come. I understand traditionalist point of view on rod building, i really do, i just feel there is more than one way to skin a cat. You are correct with the history standpoint, nothing would be cooler than to go find a barn fresh, un-molested 30's era rod that had documented history behind it. It would be great to return something like that to its original glory days, it is just nearly impossible to do so these days. So people turn to the next best avenue, modern technology made to look old. You get the best of both worlds in alot of ways, looks plus better performance and reliability. This is precisely why i love to build hot rods, everyone has different, design styles, and build theories on what makes a hot rod to them. I know i respect and like them all, traditional, feaux traditional, hi tech, practical drivers, full on show cars, i love them all.

bump....lets see some more

Our latest project in bare metal:

Finished product:

a taillight bucket we handformed for a customers '50 Ford:

Dunno if anyone remembers sub zero, it was a 72Burban, two toned green and silver, chopd top, looks like an actual wagon. I wanna say its been about 5yrs, thats just how clean of a build it was why Im going back so far. I was wonderin what happened to it... I know it was a cover truck for street strucks, and several other mags as well.

that thing is sick!!!!!!!

Narrowed front end that tucks and gets full turn radius while laid out

here's the progression of my tail lights done by my buddy Heath Roach (i did a lot of grinding welds, but he did the welding and body work)

and i forgot to take pics of the handmade steel buckets, we spent 2 months on them and found out after it was painted that you can buy them online for $60/pair...
