Since someone mounted the old tank in the #1954 #Chevy #SedanDelivery on top of the floor in the pasenger compartment and the #AluminumFuelCell I built mounted under the floor to the chassis I had a big hole to cover. So I made a pattern and cut out some
UnusualFabrication:
Now to fix some hacking. Someone cut a piece of the floor out to squeeze the filler hose through for the old tank. A quick paper pattern and the #BeadRoller to the rescue! #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #1954 #Chevy #SedanDelivery #Aluminum #FuelCell #Al

#AluminumFuelCell for the #1954 #Chevy #SedanDelivery. IIRC it held around 16-17 gallons all said and done. It sat pretty close to the floor so the filler neck had to stay low. #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #Aluminum #FuelCell #TIG #AluminumTIG #Fabrica

This is why you need more than 10 gallons if you drive it and have fun! The power plant in the #1954 #Chevy #SedanDelivery, #Blown #355 #SBC. I did not have anything to do with the motor, it's just what was in it when I built the #Aluminum #FuelCell for i

This is what was replaced in the #1954 #Chevy #SedanDelivery. It was a uncoated steel tank full of rust and on top of that, took 20 minutes to fill on slow (no vent). #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #TBT #AluminumFuelCell #Aluminum #FuelCell #HotRod #Stre

Been putting some hours on the gear #TorchWear sent me and the more I use it the more I like it. I often wear short sleeve shirts and throw a coat on to #TIG #Weld but the #XSleeves are convenient and slip on quickly so i've been using them just as much.

2nd and 3rd ops done. I use a #TubingNotcher on one end and the #BridgeportMill to slot the the other end. #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #Fabrication #Fabricator #Fab101 #Bridgeport #TubeNotching #Machinist #MachineShop #FabShop #WeldShop #HotRod #Musc

Love my #Dotco grinders! Some of the quietest and vibrationless #AirTools you'll ever use. Not for the faint of wallet though, lol! #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #FabShopPorn #ToolPorn #Fab101 #MachineShop #FabShop #WeldShop #DieGrinder

Ahhh, the trusty #Bandsaw. Put your parts in and come back when it shuts off. Definitely a time saver when it comes to doing other work while it's working! These pieces are fresh out of the #JD2 bender and marked for trimming before second and third ops.

Going through some of the of thousands of pictures I have on my phone, I came across the 50" #SheetMetalBrake I made. Nothing to fancy just clamp your material and bend! #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #SheetMetal #Fabrication #Machinist #Fabricator #Weld

When you don't have a CNC you use the next best thing, #Dykem, #Scribe, and a #BeltSander. Clamp them together and when your done you have matching parts. #UnusualFabrication #UnusualFab #LayOut #Machinist #HandMade #MadeInMichigan #IReallyNeedACNCPlasmaT

Ever wonder why #Machine, #Fabrication, and #Welding work isn't cheap? This is just one of several drawers of tooling I have that I use regularly. This drawer alone has over $5,000 worth of #DrillBits, #Reamers, #Counterbores, #CenterDrills, #EndMills, #B

My #TungstenGrinder has been working out exceptionally well. It may not be a $300-$400 handheld unit but its much better than a grinding stone and at a 1/10th the price. Not bad for a cheap diamond wheel and turning a arbor/spacer on the #Lathe. #Unusual

On top, 3/32" pure tungsten and on the bottom, 3/32" 1% Zirconiated tungsten. Straight argon, AC, older #LincolnElectric transformer machine, and about 24" of weld travel. Much smaller balling of the tip and the arc seemed much more stable. #UnusualFabr
