I’m curious about this technique. Off to the googles I go…
Lead sleds, late 40’s and 50’s modded cars. Was taught in HS shop class years ago (In the land of Nod)..
All my friends know the low rider
The low rider is a little higher
The low rider drives a little slower
Low rider is a real goer
Low rider knows every street,
Low rider is the one to meet,
Low rider don't use no gas now
Low rider don't drive too fast
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip and see
Take a little trip, take a little trip
Take a little trip with me

Thanks!Looking mighty fine, man. Thanks for sharing, keep it up!
PS. May I ask where did you purchase your new body panels?
don’t know, I never buy parts for customers vehicles. The owner bought them.

Roll bar brackets. These were wasted, so I soaked them in acid, sand blasted them. I made some new plates where the bolts holes and weld nuts are located. I cut the rusty parts off, welded the new metal on and drilled the holes. I need to clean up some of the welds, and attach weld nuts, but they look good.

Nice work, looks like you’re really refining your metal work!

Seat brackets. Old ones were pretty rusted so I made some new ones.

It has been a while. I had to complete an HJ75, so I haven't been working on the 40. Now that's done, we are full speed on the 40.
Tub is done, and sprayed with Raptor.

Tub is on the frame now. Rockers are installed, everything is welded and moving forward. Fenders, doors, and hood have been final block sanded at this point and ready for sealer and paint.

Almost everything else is ready for primer now. Lots of small parts that had to be prepped and it took all week. One of the rear doors has rust, and today I started working on it. The other door looks pretty clean but I will cut the bottom off of it also to be safe.

Had to chase the rust up one side pretty far until it was clean. I need to rebuild the entire lower section of the door.

Fits nicely. I will sand blast the remaining rust off the inner door tomorrow and patch this back together.

Finishing up this door rebuild. Sandblasted the remaining rust off the inside and welded the new part on. Now I will make the skin piece and attach that. Everything is coated with zinc primer on the backside and will get cavity wax afterwards.
Heck ya! Nearing the finish line!!
