Correction. . .

This fine specimen of metalcraft is a '38 Studebaker and not a '39 as previously listed.
Either way it looks a helluva lot better for being in Hodgey's shed. . .

K1 750-4 Cafe Racer

Good old Awsomenator, this time he's cutting new threads for oil feed lines from an old Triumph oil tank. This tank was chosen for its chrome finish and round ends which ticks all the required squares from the owner. . .

Johnny's Trike. . .

Dylan working hard at keeping Johnny happy and on a Monday?
He's got the plasma cutter out to make some neat cuts into the bottom metalwork of the big Harley tank. It's being made up into two seperate tanks with a common feeder. . .

Interesting Interloper. . .

Who's this, or more importantly why did they park this in the driveway?
For all the answers, you are going to have to watch this space carefully. . .



I did happen to notice that it is still carrying current Californian rego! Wow, it must have swum bloody fast to get here so quickly!

'39 Studebaker. . .

 Seems like Ziggy's Studie is getting plenty of air time here lately. Front end work is finished, for the moment, and now it's back on its four feet. . .
More importantly, the blue HJ is back on the hoist. . .yaay!
Hand made side step rails for the Studie, funnily enough neither side was a match?

'39 Studebaker. . .

Front end is now starting to take shape, very few panels lined up, but now Dave has things looking a lot better and with a LOT of custom fabrication, the lights are now pointing straight ahead and the grill had to have a custom band made across the bottom to join the guards up.
This rod is now coming off the hoist and on to the floor for some serious panel work. . .

Plymouth. . .

 Arthur has been approached and agreed to come out of semi-retirement to do the panel and prep work on the Plymouth. That's right, it's the same Arthur from world famous rockabilly King Promotions. Go you good thing. . .
 As can be seen, Arthur's been layin some love down the rear quarter section where the old door has been removed and the roof chop welded in. Those of you with a sharp eye might notice the 'earth' strap connected to the quarter panel? This is because when Arther gets to hand sanding the panels, he goes so hard that he creates a shit-storm of static electricity and the 'earth' strap directs the current away from him. . .
Dylan grinding back some new steel patch panels before Arthur gets involved with his 'modelling clay'. . .
