Holy wow! That is the most wicked 6 cylinder I've heard. It sounds really similar to a V8 at idle until they give it some rpm. Your friend's gasser is pretty sweet too! Great panel stretching too.Ryan

Quote, "Ryan, you can never go wrong with the machines to do it yourself. "
SO true! But it is a very slippery slope! There will be more and more tooling needed / wanted and most of the tooling will cost you more than what you paid for the machine to start with. Ask me how I know..
Robert, as always - awesome work.

Missed the link to the 6cyl truck video. Very lopy sound for straight 6!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

So last weekend I went to Ron Yeager's shop in Kingsville, MD for a metalshaping workshop. Reconnected with some old friends and made some new ones.. Thanks to Ron for opening his shop so we could all learn some new tricks and methods..
Today I got another speaker trim ring put together.....this one for the sub in the cargo area of the wagon. We planned on a recessed crest in the stainless mesh, so the mesh was aligned in our aluminum plates and pressed in the Diacro press brake using flattening dies.

Milage must vary. My third photo from top is just the cab.
Post a nice pic, we might get enough interest to justify a second run..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Very nice work on that! It turned out really cool. I spied the t shirt too and was wondering where in the world that guy found that. It isn't everyday you even hear about one of those.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
