Sheet Metal Fabrication @ High Octane Hotrods
 
Hey everyone. Just wanted to share a build we are doing on this 65 Biscayne. We built a sheet metal engine bay which included smoothing out the firewall, inner wheel wells, radiator and core support cover and wheel well splash panels. Bumpers are narrowed, smoothed and tucked up against the body. We fabricated pockets for 65 Chevelle hood insert onto the Biscayne hood. We built a custom grill from scratch. And some other misc metal work.

Nothing special besides a Mittler brothers bead roller. Everything is just basic hand and air tools.

Which one of their bead rollers do you use?

Great work!

WSSix 07-21-2013 08:39 AM

Looks nice! I like the way it flows.

Couple questions, are the plans to keep the 409 in there? Also, how serviceable are the parts that are covered by the panels going to be? I've always wondered if that's a consideration when doing panel work like this. I'm mainly looking at the hood hinges and radiator.

Hdesign 07-21-2013 08:45 AM

Engine bay looks killer! Great work, can't wait to see more.

Its a 348 w motor and yes that will be the engine going in the car. The radiator cover is removable fairly easy and you can access the upper control arms for alignment purposes. There is an access panel in the wheel well for the hood hinge. Anything outside of that and all the panels need to be removed. Removal is fairly easy though.

Extremely nice sheet metal work!

Hotrod1 10-20-2013 02:36 PM

Hey Mohawk:

What gauge steel do you usually use for all this sheet metal work?

The work is beautiful. If you offered a subscription video series on sheet metal instruction, I would sign up, fast. It could be a way for you to make a few extra bucks as you go along with a project anyways. I know someone else that does this in another field and he does well. He uses Vimeo to post and charge for subscriptions.

214Chevy 10-21-2013 07:40 AM

Wow, would love to see a build thread on the 67-72 C10. Love the inner wheel wells. More pics please! :flashie:

J Mohawk 10-21-2013 10:48 AM

18 gauge cold rolled, and videos are in the works. ;-)
