WOW SOB!!!. that's some awesome fab work.Frickin amazing.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

dang! nice work on that hood, car is looking great! :thumbsup:

Wow - looks great. Never really though of scratch building the rear pot metal pieces. Think I'll have to try it.

wow...unbelievable fabrication going on there. It don't want to bother you, I just want to sit and watch. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

Great thread.

Can you tell us a little about your alum/steel bonding process ?
What product are you using?
I assume you form a flat flange on the bottom of the scoop and that's what you are bonding to the hood surface.
How does this bonding cope with the different expansion rates of alum and steel ?
I've often wanted to join alum to steel on body work but was always concerned with this.

Great car although I much prefer the '68 Shelby front end to the '67 front end.

Thanks for all the photos I always learn so much from these well documented builds.

That is some amazing sculpture. So is the next build an all metal Mad-Max Falcon?

Keep up the phenomenal work!

The adhesive we use is part of the lord fusor range it is specifically designed for bonding materials with different temperature expansion rates i.e fibreglass to metal, aluminum to metal etc ,most of the new cars now days are bonded.

Whats with the Studebaker in the corner there???? 53,54? post up a couple pics of that!!!

Thanks for asking "the" question. :thumbsup:

The metal work in this shop is very impressive!

LOVE the metal work!

its a 60-61 model,been going on the build for a couple of years,C4 front suspension,5.4 Aussie GT Modular engine,5 speed auto(soon to be 6 speed manual) 4 link rear, will have the complete GT interior grafted into it as well.
I thought about doing a project post on this one but didnt know whether anyone would really "click" with it.let me know if you want and Ill make it Happen.
Shane.

Love to see you start one on the Studie! Appears to be a GT Hawk? A buddy stuffed a 560 Caddy motor in clean all original one 20+ years ago, made for a real sleeper.

That would be great, Shane. Post it up.

Fantastic work on the Mustang.

Shane, Your fab is amazing.If posted fab work you were doing on a rolling out house,I think we would all check it out.Please post photo's of any of your great work.:thumbsup: Scott

Keep the pics coming

You too, Marty!!!!!

Big Hold up on the motor at the moment, so I cant get the Engine fitted and do the fab necessary to fabb exhaust etc,So rather than having a no show for a few weeks I sent it over to the Bodyshop and had the boys gap and smooth it up and get it to poly primer,Back to My side this week to Fab up the lower Airdam stone panel.

Car looks awesome, great metal work.

updates please

Marty, Shane doesn't post here any more after he posted some issues with Drivers inc and got shafted, it seems some vendors are more untouchable than others.

Greg

That sucks! Looked forward to their updates, incredible work, nice guys.


Jeff-

well that sucks !!

Greg; I sent Southrod a PM telling him we missed his updates. Really loved his fab work. I'll have to keep checking his web site.

man that sucks! that car was looking great!

Crazy nice!

Hi Wayne, It's sad, but he felt he was blown off by the mods over the Drivers Inc thread he started. He post his builds over on usmuscle.com.au

Greg

That stinks! I loved following this thread. What amazing craftsmanship.

OK Enough of the PM's I get the hint.
Heres a few of the car in poly primer.
Still waiting on the engine.
