How to Build a Custom Transmission & Driveshaft Tunnel - Ford Model A - Eastwood

[@MultiOliver87]

The work looks professional. Yes, quality is king.

[@INFIDEL82AA]

I love this Tech’s videos! Hes pretty thorough, and pretty much tells me all that I need to know while using Eastwood brand tooling. Thank you, Good Sir! Awesome skill-set.

6:40 "sneak up on it" ... haha. Thanks, this is good stuff.

Nice ride,very detailed videos...I'm actually building mine based of of your ride...

[@lucadesiervo2684]

You are a true craftsman. So much talent!

[@ralphmills7322]

Great job...I would liked to have seen how you would cut open the transmission tunnel to properly fit in the top of transmission box and shift lever.

[@Suedzville]

Awesome work as usual. Matt, I can't wait for the next installment.

[@TheMarcusGomez]

nice. would have liked to see more of the final metal shaping on the wheel.

[@WACRE44]

Thanks for the great service I love the blog

[@eastwoodco]

Our pleasure!

[@indy007jones]

Matt I love these kind of fab videos keep them coming. When you are doing these videos can you please tell us what gauge steel you are working with.

[@eastwoodco]

Hi Richy, I used 18 gauge cold rolled steel for this entire project. Thanks for watching! -Matt/EW

[@marcocaro3291]

Do u have a video showing how u went about mounting that 32 frill in ur chanelled car?

[@colinmiller6097]

Matt Great Hands On practical video. Any chance of a compilation full length video on the project. Your workmanship is excellent. Colin from the Land of Kangaroos

[@eastwoodco]

Hi Colin, Thanks for the kind words. We do not have a full length video, but if you search "Model A" on our channel home page you can watch them all in succession. Hope that helps! -Matt/EW

Nice work! I don't have an english wheel and I don't think it's necessary to have one. I would have laid that sheet metal over a piece of channel iron and then rounded it by hammering it into the channel with a piece of pipe.

[@INFIDEL82AA]

Of course theres the Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda’s out there. They show how to use various tools and almost none of them are required for that particular task. Working with metal, almost anything else could always be used instead. All Fab guys know this. Its just ONE MORE way.

[@anthonykinrade8642]

Nice job....

[@luizchevelle7218]

Just great!

[@techx3d]

Did you weld the trans and driveshaft tunnel seam continuously or do you jump around and let it cool some? I like the idea of tig'ing them instead of having a big ole mig mess to clean up after. How much shaping is there to do after the weld? I've had to use a dent puller heat source to eliminate the oil can on front pans after moving too fast with the mig. Good videos. Fairly detailed with the process

[@ramonmserrano]

when does the next video come out?

[@robertironside3166]

Don't they sell a roller with a crank? They used to make a roller assembly with one roller up top and two beneath to shape out a cone [or if at home you'd use your pipe vice to bend out the conical shape]? Just thinking [a dangerous sport for me] lol

[@earlcousins6635]

I would like for you to say what gauge material you use on your metal projects. Thanks. I enjoy your work and the vids!

[@earlcousins6635]

Thanks for the reply!

[@eastwoodco]

It was 18 gauge for the floors and trans tunnel.

[@eastwoodco]

It was 18 gauge for the floors and trans tunnel.

[@mrnavarrete6450]

what gauge sheet metal our you using for flooring .

[@marcocaro3291]

What size tires are those

[@kevinpeterson5131]

does eastwood make or sell sliprollers because your transmission tunnel and driveshaft tunnel both could have been made a lot easier and faster with a sliproller and im sure they could be used for a lot of other projects too

[@eastwoodco]

Eastwood does offer a couple sizes of slip rolls.

Still waiting on the next vid...
