Post your pics and links to inspirational fabrication work

[Mick Mc]

WOW Rodger and I posted the same link for fabrication, to weird.

But I do remember at SEMA, Rodger and I and Eric and Garage Dog crawling for an hour under a offroad race truck looking at fabrication...none of us wanted to walk away, we kept pointing and saying...

Rodger, this is Brian M. Nova? WOW that is great. I still want to see your truck up close.



I have always liked to look at fabricators ideas and work. I tried doing fabrication but I don't have the patients for it and give up to fast. http://www.race-dezert.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31417 is insane and full of ideas.

Well some more pics from Tom Hannas shop

The dragster belt guard and engine plate spacers.


The exhaust on the streamliner


The dual magneto drive off the front of the engine


The intake air box and Eric Turners new Asics


The F-3 Progarger spacer bracket, just imagine how much machine work it took to make this, even on a CNC machine. ( UNREAL )

Great thread Roger, for a metal guy this is as good as looking at Victoria Secret models.

WOW !!!! This thread is awesome.

I would have never thought I would be insperational to someone else. Thank you very much Cris (I think I'm going to cry).

I cant' even start the list of people and places that inspire me but I will try.
My biggest inperation had to be my Mom. I lost her to cancer 6 years ago. If it were'nt for her I would'nt be writing this. She always taught me to do my best keep my head up and don't let anything hold you back. I think about her every day and when things are tuff (every day) I think about her more. That's what keeps me motivated and to never give up ! One of my favorite lines " Keep doing better than your best and never letting it rest"

As for all the talent in this world. Bobby Walden (good friend) one of the best metal men around he did alot of the under hood work on Shicayne and all the work on Sniper. Rad rides. Tom Hannan(Metalshapers.org), Craig Naff(Golden Sub),D.S.E, Some of my local friends Nick @ Red Zone (cage in F-Bomb) Tom Nelson of N.R.E. Every metal shaping book avalible to man(I hear there's a huge new one coming out). Ironworks, Pinkees rod shop, Roadster Shop, Steve Moal, Snick's, Rodders Journal, All the different friends and builders on Lat-G. Jesse James, to see this guy build bikes at the right time and place in history and to take it to a level and style no one else has. Thats a huge motivation and inspiration.

There are so many more out there. If you have the motivation and drive like I do and the rest of us out there we will all be that much better at what we do. It will keep bringing out more talent that you thought you never had because you were inspired and motived by the people, projects, and ideas they created with there own two hands.


Thanks again Roger for getting us inspired
