V8 Viva exhausts needed to be something that sounded right and looked right so the take os modifying the previous attempt was started. After a fair amount of cutting & welding the final design I think works well.....and sounds nasty!! 😈😎 #classicopel #retrovauxhall #classicvauxhall #carrestoration #classiccars #customfabrication #restomod #HandsOnSkills #classiccar #customcars #moneypit #anothersaved #v8viva #vauxhallvivaownersclub #musclecar #vauxhallfirenza #chevroletcanam #babychevy
When a good friend asked if I could help him get his Lotus Carlton back together I was thrilled. To enable this to happen He asked if I could strip, prep and paint the engine bay so he could get the drive train and all ancillaries back in place to move the project forward. This is the initial stages #carrestoration #retrovauxhall #classicopel #autobahnstormers #classicvauxhall #vauxhallbigsix #lotuscarlton
When the hauler needed some pads for the Hiab legs, some second hand units were sourced, but then where to safely store them when travelling? Make some stowage units that use the slide bed to retain the pads 😃 laser cut & pressed from sturdy 5mm 5-bar aluminium treadplate, they can easily withstand being stood on and fit in well with the rest of the Hauler design 😎👍🏼 #customfabrication #custommade #carrestoration #classiccars #restomod #classictruck #chevytrucks #gmctruck #showtruck #cummins #hauler
When you need tools for the job and you've a keen apprentice willing to learn his fabrication skills then you're onto a winner. The rejuvenation of an old fly press with new tooling for shaping and bending and a stand for the shrinker/stretcher for the sheet metal. Our Kai has done a cracking job on making these tools far easier to use 😎👍🏼 #custommade #carrestoration #classiccars #customfabrication #teachingskills #investinginthefuture #apprenticeship #HandsOnSkills
