I guess time for an update. I was out of the office actually on business 22 of 31 days last month. Insane.
Frank's Insane Pick is coming along and just about ready for Paint. Hopefully next week. Frank told me yesterday he would not add one more thing. I not sure we could come up with one more option. We have the hood swinging and latching http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010065.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010063.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010061.jpg We have the Tailgate latching and opening with the slick laser cut handles to be replaced with Machined units. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010034.jpg I guess we are also in the hood hinge market now. We made 1 set of hinges since nobody has made these. And they are probably the worst units on the market. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010037.jpg We made a Cold air intake system inside the passenger inner fender http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010053.jpg It take air in through these behind the grille. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010054.jpg |
The Giveaway car is painted and sitting on a powder coated chassis awaiting a few vital non existent parts to finish assembly.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...5/Inpaint2.jpg Kenny has more pics I hope. But this and a TXT pic are all I have seen. Here is picture of the chassis just before Powder coat and SEMA. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...r2010125-1.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...r2010126-1.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010099.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010098.jpg |
We just about have the DOnKey Kong Camaro ready for paint. We just got the final wheels today and the customer has not seen them yet. But here are some progress pics.

Can believe we started this car the week before July 4th. We hope to have this car and Frank's truck at Del Mar. But we will need some luck. |

Nice wheels. I hope to have a set EXACTLY like that. And I do mean EXACT. Tyler |
What do you think your the only one with Blue taped Directional HRE wheels? We have to figure a why to raise the bar some how.
See your wheels are just fine, Right on your car..... http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010026.jpg :D :D :D :D |
Things are looking good around there, I LOVE that truck:thumbsup:

What's this center console out of? Or is it custom?

Nice update. Anxious to see your shop in a couple months.
|
Looks like the shop runs just fine when your gone!!
Looks like alot of work in there. Congrats on all the projects. |
Yeah things went pretty well while the boss was away. I have some good employee's.
4 years ago when I moved from the 3800 Sq ft shop to this 10,000 sq ft shop, I thought we would never fill this sucker up, We had a BMX bike we rode across the shop to the bathroom, because we though the shop was "SO BIG". Now My shop is to full I have Tri-5 chassis's everywhere and prototype Chevelle stuff along with all kinds of projects. It is funny how this Insane truck has snowballed into what it is. I have guys waiting for Frank to get done cuz they took a break on money for a few months and he stepped up and had this truck built in a very short period of time. Maybe I should actually take a vacation...... Yeah right where would I go? |

Wow, that's a ton of work and far from average. Truck looks killer!

Some pics from the Photoshoot for the packard yesterday.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010026.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010021.jpg We are supposed to shoot some pics for a possible cover later this week or next for Street Rodder Magazine. It would be cool to see this thing on the cover of something. The customer would be super excited. |
Getting ready for a Baremetal Photo shoot of Frank's truck. The front End fully assembled.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010027.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010028.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010029.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010030.jpg I just want to Thank Frank for Being Crazy enough to let us go this crazy on His wife's truck. I'm not sure I can imagine how out of hand his car will be. 41 Chevy Coupe with an LS9. HHHMMMM..... WOW |
What a killer looking truck. Looks amazing Rodger. Very nice. Post up some pics of the bare metal photo shoot, if you can. A LS9 sounds awesome!!:yes: :cheers:

http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010028.jpg /QUOTE] awesome work as always. i love seeing the builds you guys put out. how about some info on the impala next to it? what's going on there? |
There is a like to some of the work done to the Impala we have done on my website. Mainly just interior and under hood sheetmetal work. The majority of work to the car was done in another shop.

And where the h@ll is build book team..again?? I just love all the small details you put on this truck. Thank you for the update :cheers: |
Chevelle Chassis update. We are just about ready to cut and form prototype chassis #2. Eric is finishing up some details. But I figured I would share some solidworks drawings. I do not have pricing yet but it looks to be right about 20K as a complete roller, Just no brakes or wheels and tires at that price. It will accept a 335/20 in the rear and not sure on the front yet. We had to do some major work to over come some big issues to get the ride height we have achieved on this project. Well enough Hub Bub.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...S12-17-102.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...S12-17-103.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...S12-17-104.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...S12-17-101.jpg We will begin accepting deposits in the next few weeks and off some introductory pricing to the first few orders. And believe it or not, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the dimple dies in the rear crossmember. I know hard to believe. |

Run my CC for $10 today and I will send you more for my chassis soon:thumbsup: :bow: |
Okay so what is the tire size combo that will work with this
re: front tire height & rear tire height ps- I forwarded this link to Bill P as he is building a 69 or 70 chevelle and looking for a chassis Quote:
|
It should say ironworks instead of the dimple dies, so you see it when your under the car or when its on a lift.
Its also called brand marketing. |
Quote:
We will be changing the measurements to a 70 we are taking measurements from later this week. The 68-72 is very similar but different. But the basic design will be the same. I think we will do the Ironworks script like the Tri-5 chassis. |

I'll forward the IRONWORKS cross member to Rodger soon! --Eric |
And you guys though we only did things for the Man of the house. Here is a Dining room table we are doing for a Lady we met at the Scottsdale show.
All in Stainless. She has a 70" round glass top for it already. http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010003.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010004.jpg http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...ber2010005.jpg |
Add a big ball and she can play "jacks"
|
looks like something they might put at the beach to keep the enemy from storming it. is there something coming that I should know about?:_paranoid
|
Quote:
LOL. Thats a damn cool table! |
Here is another Table I'm working on for another customer. The top section will also be dimple died around the up right of the C channel. But putting that in Solidworks to be cut 2D is beyond me. If you do it when the plate is flat it is gravy.
http://i616.photobucket.com/albums/t...speed/Desk.jpg |
That Chevelle chasiss is pretty sick. Very nice indeed.:yes:
I would do the IRONWORKS on the cross member. |

If it was for me - I'd do boxed tubing with dimple dies on both sides... |
