Been curious about this for a while... Is the customer generally charged for those 60 hrs on projects of this caliber?

We tend to be pretty efficent when it comes to time but obviously I get pretty generous with hours on something that requires alot of time to have the end product that we want!!!

killer job well done:yes: :yes: :yes:

Very nice work. Can't wait to see more pics...

wow!!!! did I mention I love that front end.:hail:

Outstanding Fab work.Panel's and Package trey are a nice touch.:thumbsup:

Looking good Troy.

Very nice fabrication and creativity going on down there. Keep it up!
I foresee your shop to be definitely on a list of where to go for fab work in the midwest. And around here (WI/ILL.) that list is pretty small:thumbsup:

The metal work is incredible on this car ! :wow:

X 100!!!!!!!!!

ditto.

amazing build

Troy,

I'd guess that steel volunteers to be beat on by you. :cool:

Awesome fab work..

Unbelievable... Alright help me understand if you don't mind- Youre interior panels/package tray and maybe dash too(?) are aluminum, I'm gonna guess 3003-H6? If you get a chance do you mind showing a picture of the back side of your door panels?? I'm curious if you butt weld all those panel edges or lap weld them?

When you do your insets like on the trunk floor, are you using a flange die or a buck and blunt chisel? I keep warping the tar out panels with a flange die...I'm sorry I don't mean to pry on trade secrets or anything, you just obviously know what youre doing haha!

Youre work is frickin amazing! Can't wait to see more! :willy:

Yes all the interior panels are 3003 aluminum. Everything is butt welded no lap welding. Once we have the front all welded we weld the back side of all the seams as well. This allows all the finish work to be done (hammering and sanding the welded areas flat) with out any cracks in the weld.

As far as the offset inserts go we used a step die in our pullmax machine to acheive this. I will post pics of both once I am back at work.

Man you guys have a Pullmax :hail: :hail: :thumbsup: Nice!

he should have mention the Pull max used to be at Rad Rides.

Let me guess this one wasn't big enough for Troy??:wow:

Ooooooohhh ok that all makes more sense. Dang that is alot of welding time if youre doing both sides, but that makes good sense. Explains some of the cracking issues I've had. Ah, yeah a Pullmax would make some quick work of that haha. Sweet!

What thickness Al and steel do you typically work with? I'm guessing like 0.030'' AL and about 20-20ga steel?

Thanks for the insight!! :cheers:

Small update:

Finished out the under side and still building interior panels

Nice work as usual. Troy, I was wondering if you make upper control arm for Trailblazer SS, I saw on your website that you offer Colorado arms.

X2!!:yes: :yes: Didn't even know what a Pullmax was and Googled it and from what I saw, it is a fine piece of equipment to have. :cheering:

working on the headliner...
