Coupe Simone What's New
มุมมอง 70110 หลายเดือนก่อน
I've had questions and messages concerning the Coupe Simone build, so hopefully this will answer a few of them! And an official announcement that Coupe Simone is for sale or commission. Who will own this gorgeous piece of automotive art? Some say Jay Leno, some say Billy Gibbons!?? Maybe it will be you... I personally have no idea, but if you do, I can be reached at iconicrods@gmail.com!
Laser Welding Aluminum
มุมมอง 77610 หลายเดือนก่อน
With our new IPG Photonics LightWeld XR laser welder we test .063 thick 3003-H14 sheet with .047 4043 wire in this system. A little play time to adjust some preset programs and we're ready to weld some butt joints. I truly believe this will change the way many industries will fabricate the world. We will be welding a lot of aluminum on Coupe Simone and this is going to save us a lot of time not...

Ep 3 Coupe Simone
มุมมอง 1.9K10 หลายเดือนก่อน
On Episode 3 we start shaping body panels from .063 3003-H14 aluminum panels. This series of aluminum is the most common for shaping body panels as it works nicely and easy to anneal to make it softer when needed. We start with easier panels and work our way to the more difficult ones. This entire car is full of shape!
Coupe Simone Ep.2 Creating the Wire Form Buck
มุมมอง 4.4Kปีที่แล้ว
As we move on to creating the wire form buck we need to shape each individual station in order to create the 3-dimensional body shape. We use a combination of mild steel materials to fabricate this large wire form.
Ep.1 Chassis Fabrication
มุมมอง 2.5Kปีที่แล้ว
Join us as we start at ground zero and fabricate the huge frame rails into a chassis that will be used on Coupe Simone. And we'll do it without a chassis table or jigs or fixtures. We will cut, weld plasma cut, grind, rinse and repeat until we have a matching set! we will start with patterning and template layouts to show you that it can be done easily with basic tools.

Coupe Simone to be coach built! All hand fabricated starting in 2023

Originally designed and released in 1996, a mythical and legendary car appeared with a story so believable most people thought was real. And, in a sense it is, in a model.

The story was told that two immigrant coachbuilders set up shop in Pennsylvania and designed and built...

MM Episode 8
มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว
As we continue the fabrication, metal shaping, bead rolling, tube bending and welding on Mighty Mouse it is slowly starting to come together and look like something. With the LS-7 in place coupled to a TH-400 transmission we can see the room we have now to work with. All done here at Iconic Rod & Custom!
Mighty Mouse Ep 7
มุมมอง 1.4Kปีที่แล้ว
This time on Episode 7, we'll fabricate reinforcements for the roof panels, metal shape filler panels and english wheel and power hammer to shape some of the pieces needed to close the cab back up. I'll use dimple dies to make a reinforcement stronger, mig-weld and tig weld pieces. We'll also start the hidden roll cage.
Mighty Mouse Ep 6 Putting it back together
มุมมอง 1.7Kปีที่แล้ว
We start putting it all back together again. Fabrication of the custom cab mounts, patterning the roof panel, then metal shaping with the power hammer, English wheel and bead roller to get it fitting nice. Give us a like, subscribe and follow us along on this build!
Mighty Mouse Episode 5 Split decisions

On this episode we'll install some of the suspension, fabricate a chassis table to move the project onto to free up the fab table. Well fabricate and install the front crossmember, sqaure everything up once more then set the body on the chassis. Once that's all squared up also, we start cutting to split the cab in two.... or five pieces. The metal work is about to get more entailed and show you...
Mighty Mouse Ep 4
มุมมอง 1.2Kปีที่แล้ว
In this episode we'll fit the rear cab panel and fabricate the cab corners to flow with the contour of the rear doors. We are doing this using basic hand tools and a mig welder. we will then dress up the part, so it looks like one solid piece.

    Cool effort…car looks like you will have about 6 inches of headroom after you get floors and seats in…looks a little oversized in the video. I would guess that it stands about 60 plus inches tall. Would hope I’m wrong and it’s more about plus or minus 54 inches.

    Nose right off an International Lone Star. Makes it work, even if it is a ripoff of the russ heintz phantom corsair cord coupe. Crewcab with 8 foot box, is roundabout 170 inch wheelbase. The shortbox crewcab is around 150 inches.

      Thanks for your idea, but I’ve built a chassis already and putting a straight eight of the era in it.. I wouldn’t say it a “ripoff” of Heinz Corsair, there not much other than the grill resemblance from that.. there is many different influences like Bugatti, Zephyr etc.. in my opinion

    • @iconicrodcustom2159
      @iconicrodcustom2159 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      the wire form you see is only for shaping the aluminum panels. It will not be used for the body structure. We'll make inner reinforcement panels from aluminum to support the outer skin. But, self etch and epoxy coatings could be used as well as powder coatings if we did use the steel structure so there is no galvanic corrosion.
