Dabble in building Street Rods. Have 2 of my own. I used to build DIRT modified in my younger days for a living. Enjoy 410 Spint Car a Racing, especially in southern Pa. Where I think they are the best in the country.

Hi Bowtie1952 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:
Sounds like you'll fit in nicely here. :)
What are you working on now? Anything interesting next up on your projects list?
Building an English Wheel, and info on a Plasma cutter for DIY plans. I have a pattern cutting machine, but I'm there is a local kid in business building street rods and I'm thinking about helping him a little bit. I miss not fabricating stuff all the time. I only get to do it now when I'm able to grab a few hours here and there. I'm on the road for the next 3 weeks, when I get home, I'm going over and building a chassis jig and we will have our own 32 Ford Chassis we will be building in 4 o 5 different arrangements. Plain, bobbed, c notched, pinched. and 29 rear crossmember. Need my fabrication fix.
Hi Bowtie1952,
Welcome! :welcome:
Lots of car guys here (guilty!), so you've come to the right place! :cool:
Sounds like a neat project you'll have going once the new chassis jig is ready. Let's see some pics of your progress…

This reminded me of '49 Willys Wagon that we recently featured: https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...ys_mogon-39357
It's on a 4x4 site, but the fabrication work on the build is amazing, much more than what you see on a normal 4x4 build. Halfway through the discussion the builder reveals that he's got a couple of street rodders lending a hand. :martini:
