I stand corrected, the '47. Thanks!

[@snoopu2601]

The video the owner can see what a fantastic job you did on the car floor professional well done job on a really nice car. If they want to put it back to the original suspension they can. Why would they it's going to look really cool slam on the ground or raised up.

[@snoopu2601]

I thought it was just me being cold in California bay area by the San Pablo bay! It is cold this morning.

Awesone car my Dad bought a 1959 it was blue and white 352 with 3 speed with ovrtdrive

[@LGKustoms]

Good combo!

[@snoopu2601]

That's called cut and butt, Fittzie came up with that method not shire where he got the idea. A whole lotta people use that method for welding sheet metal on automotive sheet metal new to original metal. You have to hold the cutting wheel at an angle. Because if you hold the cutting wheel straight down you will have a gap the size of the cutting will. You will have to add a lot more filler rod.

Looks like operating table with all those white sheets around 😃🤯

[@LGKustoms]

Sterile environment!

Hi Lee and Shannon . Worked out really well .Was shocked yesterday at the price of spray bomb etching primer , header primer , and just about anything spray can paint related . Have a great week !

[@LGKustoms]

It’s insane! I’ve always been amazed with the graffiti wall across the tracks from the shop, how much money these artists are spending to paint on that wall. Probably a couple hundred bucks in paint for each piece

[@snoopu2601]

I bought a cheap Harbor freight spray gun so I can mix paint or primer from the hardware store. It seems like every time I buy spray can paint every time I go to use it the air from the can is gone. Now I have a whole can of paint with no air. I have to poke a hole in the can to pour in the harbor freight paint gun any way to spray. I found it saves me more money to buy a quart can of paint and mix and spray. It is more convenient to have spray bomb/can if your going to use it right away but shelf life it's up in the air if it's going to work or not. To bad they don't have a tool to refill the spray bomb once it looses the air from a full can of paint.

Love your work wish I could hook you up on ink for a frame n body 30s model something thanks for sharing 🤙🏼😎

[@LGKustoms]

Maybe one day!

[@martinsteele3259]

Keep up the awesome work!!

[@LGKustoms]

Thanks! Will do!

[@snoopu2601]

Yes the driveshaft did look really close to the floor, make the metal where there's at least an 1" gap for clearance for movement.

[@stanleyfanning5316]

That was a lot of work in a tight place. Awesome job. You need a lift in the shop.

[@LGKustoms]

I’m not sure where I could put a hoist where it wouldn’t take up two car spaces. The shop is only 25’ wide.

[@t-rodzgarage]

Nice Ride! 😊

[@LGKustoms]

Sure is!

[@paulsturtz7638]

Excellent workmanship! So what's with the '46?

[@LGKustoms]

46? Or you mean my 47 Ford? Waiting on parts.

[@danforaker1867]

I want to know the name of the company that makes the bracket for the shock for the 59 Ford I have a 59 Ranchero with air ride but it does not have front shocks

[@LGKustoms]

autofabsupply.com/collections/fabrication/products/universal-front-shock-relocation-kit

[@danforaker1867]

What is the company's name that makes the shocks for the front of the car

[@LGKustoms]

Not sure they brand, they were the ones on the car when it came in, just reused them.

[@hotrodjohnny825]
