79 frame photos

'79 Frame all tacked up!

Saturday was a quiet day at the shop for the most part.  Tim and I flew solo most of the day with a couple of surpise visits.  Tim and I dove into the frame with a goal of getting it all tacked up by close of business, i thought this may have been a bit ambitious but no shit, there i was 4:15 with the frame all tacked up.

Ron is going to go through and get all the finish welding done and we will be off into fabbing a few things up and then mock up!

Pics to follow.

79 shovel project.

Tj got the frame jig ready to go ( thanks my man) and we are off. Got everything bolted in and started cutting. Got the bottom rails ready to tack in place and we are workin on the uppers. I can't thank Ron enough for the help welding. This man does more with 8 fingers than others do with 10.

Delayed progress: 79 shovel

So i am a bit behind with the posts but i Had a bunch of photos that needed to be posted. Got the shovel engine buttoned up and ready to drop in the frame, it cleaned up great. Below are Some pics of us lapping the valves , shimming the rocker arms , Murph sealin the inside of his tranny, prepping crush washers and whatever else you see. Fender is in and I have the petcock ready to install on the tank so there will be some good fabrication photos to come. Going to be doing some molding on both the fender and the tank with 1/4 steel rod. Also I am going to make a steel run to grab 5/8ths stainless rod for my sissy bar. Once the jig is done this shovel head project will start to roll on.
