This is definitely one of those jobs that actually proves that I know what the hell I'm doing for all the years that I've been working with metal. When you can take a tailgate off a 1940 Chevy pickup that's all. One piece with wrap around ends and return bends and then the flats on the return bins are spot welded back to the main face on the tailgate all in one piece not multiples and you cut it with two pieces of metal and there ain't no redos and you make it one shot and you make it happen and this is the result. When I text the customer tonight sending pictures he about s*** himself blown away that I could even get something close to what? Replicated a 1940s tailgate. This is a customer I've known for years and have did a lot of work for all. I told him was get the parts up and I'll get them knocked out Tuesday Wednesday of this week and here I am ready to go and keeping the project going. Anybody can throw a piece in the break and make an angle or weld something together. But when you take and make a hand weld it up die. Draw some stuff on the computer, cut it out and make it in one shot. That's the impressive part and there's not that many people that can do that in the industry anymore. So if you're one of those guys that needs old car parts made, I'm definitely that guy I can make about whatever you can think of on top of soon. Be making door skins with the light 16 gauge by 72-in plate roll that I got in last week on top of the 42-in deep er roll machine with every die that you could get for the machine for window. Offsets radius edges overbend hem dies so I'm pretty set up to do about anything you can think of from light to heavy gauge metal. So hit me up if you got any questions or something custom one off you're doing cuz I can pretty well make everything.
