Yeah -- I didn't mean to jack the thread -- it's just that every shop I visit -- and I visit A LOT of them.... there are dead projects, from lack of payment EVERYWHERE...

THREAD JACK OVER

We will now return to viewing, and commenting about, the fantastic work being done by Ironworks!!

Greg you can thread jack as long as you also thread jack you own thread for your car. The post is coming very soon.

I knew a comment like that was coming.... and I shoulda known it would come from you :_paranoid

DUDE!!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I predict the Greg Weld bubbletop will be the biggest thread on Lat G, after mine of course. :lol:

Guys, I stopped by Ironworks on my travels to Buttonwillow. I was very impressed with the shop and projects. The office manager scared the hell out of me. Big, old, hairy looking sasquatch.:unibrow:

It's a simple car.... for a simpleton.

it needs some Weld emblems.

I have told you before but I love the work you guys do :hail:

and would like to come and see the shop one day

Thank you very much. We have customers that allow us to keep the lights on and be able to build this stuff everyday.

Looking forward to seeing 'Project Bubble Boy'.

:lol: :lol:

I can get you some killer emblems made Greg and they will look factory

Seems that all I have been doing is small little emblems.
I want something big to work on.

First pic is a CAD model. Second pic is of a laser scan of a factory emblem, that is going to be updated in Billet.

Well put

Thats even more well put:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm excited to see this part get made for the front of this truck.

Roger you doin a project for GW he's not telling us about??;)

Remember the old Big Daddy Ed Roth cars? I'm thinking about a recreation/clone/tribute car along those lines. AKA: Bubbletop

Greg............. U f^@kin with me:question: :D

DUDE! <Spicolli style>

Greg..........:goofy:

I'm not sure what it is but we made it a bit cooler. I think

So do you ride in it or smoke it?

Man I would think the SoCal chapter of PETA would be all over NOW.:lol:Shooting at Harmless duck's,Don't you have A KFC where you live.

How do you think they keep them stocked with ” chicken”? :lol:

Well I guess it's time for a long over due update.

The 48 made the SEMA show in the final hour. We then took it to Scottsdale and Del Mar for the Goodguys events. We got a Truck of the Year Finalist for 2012 award at Del Mar over Thanksgiving weekend.

There is quite a few updates in the build thread here.
https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...ight=ironworks

We have been keeping a 1962 Bubbletop project somewhat quite for a little while. Build thread coming soon. It will be the first car to get one of our 58-64 Impala chassis's. It is getting the Big Magnuson Supercharger on top of an LSX-376 with a Wegner front drive system. It will have a paddle shifted 4L80 trans. We are working on a rendering and so on right now. Here are a few sneak pics of the build. Trust me when I say it will be cool. Trust me when I say these are not the wheels for the car. We think we have found the perfect wheel from HRE.

The back end of the 1960 Ford truck has really come together well.

The bed corner cabinets are working out well. The front 2 are ice chests with laser cut beer bottle racks.

The 1960 Ford should be going to Palmer's Customs for some paint and body work in the next few weeks. We are trying to meet an end of April deadline on this project.


We have started work on a pretty basic little 1934 Ford fiberglass car. The customer had the body and chassis. We are about ready for Paint and body on the Cognito Motorsports 1956 Chevy. The 1955 Chevy is coming along and might see paint and body this summer.

That's a bitchin' bubbletop!



:unibrow: :D

Do you have a build thread for the nova in the background?

Really ???:unibrow:

ya know I've got a near perfect bubble in my warehouse is yours for the asking.

Cool bubble top, owner is a prick.

Back of the Ford is Sick!

I was missing your one liners. Welcome back. LOL :cheers:

Im really happy with how the tailgate came out. Who would have ever thought 2 67 nova rear bumpers could looks so good.

Ouch You a mean man

Greg.....................:question: :question: :question: :question: Something your not telling us..:_paranoid

Okay so here is my hypothesis

The Ironworks crew is building a 62 bubbletop for Greg.

just my theory

The ultimate!
