Thread: Streetwerkz 30 sedan build

I have had ZERO spare time these past few months... which SUCKS!!!

A small update

I finally got some good info on measurements for the sub frame so I could put the bottom of the car together.
Once I triple checked all my measurements for accuracy, and square I started on my mounting system for the body to the frame.

After the 5" channel in the front, factory mount on the rear the rake of the body should look good. I had a client of mine who does first quality steel cabinet, counter top, etc werk bend me up some 14 ga as a "C" channel with the rake cut out of one leg to match the body rake. Then I cut out another strip of 14 ga to match the shape of the sub rails to box the under side of the body, and give it a nice clean look underneath.

first pic is top view of the sub frame mount sitting on the frame, almost don't see it

second is a bottom view showing the gap that was filled

third is a view from the opposite side showing how I need to do a little more werk to finish making this strong, then look good

First of all Josh, I apologize for totally forgetting to get you those measurements I promised. I kept thinking about it at home but by the time I got to the shop it had slipped my mind completely. I'm so sorry, especially since you were so helpful through that powder coat fiasco. Hope I can get you some info or something in the future to make up for it a little.

Glad to see you are back on it again. Looks like you are tackling the subframe and patch panels very well. I know what you mean about life sometimes getting in the way of what we want to do and the months and years fly by.

Hi Josh, just found your thread and have read it through and I now would like to complement you on your workmanship (werk) and also having been a Panelbeater in a previous life, I appreciate the extra work in unstitching the panels to accomplish an excellent finish. Keep it going mate, (NZ slang)...
As for Pop Don, (Itoldyouso), alzheimers is slowly setting in sadly,..
I hope this '30 Tudor you are building is going to be a keeper as with all the panelwork (werk) you are doing it is going to be better than new.
