from some of the comments i gather a lot of younger generation of metal men don't know what some of the old tools are. my dad and older brother were long time body men, my dad from the mid 40s up, i still run across some of his old tools in my mess i call a garage. lead paddles, spoons, slappers , body files etc, got several different shape dollys. until i saw a few videos like yours i didn't realize anyone used lead anymore. im not sure if Riata Cadillac in san antonio saved their old equipment when they turned the dealership into condos or not but in the 60s on the top floor where the parking overload went the stored some of the old fixtures, racks and forms, and jigs used in the old days to reshape roofs and doors and hoods. back when you couldn't buy new parts and had to use what you had.
I remember cutting sheet metal with no gloves on day. The instant I thought I should be wearing gloves it slipped and sliced right into the top of my thumbs. At that point of my life my son was young and used to like to open up all the Band-Aids so I had none. So I superglued it together and went to work
You had it right the first time, cutting your hand with metal will make your day. Always wear your safety gear hand, eye's feet, protection you only get one of each of those. Looking good always great to see how the project is progressing along. Well started to drain the tank on the 1947 Chevy Stylemaster coupe to put new gas in. It did turn when connecting the battery. It will fire up the spark plugs had a little rust on them clean right up, they were brand new 7 year's ago when they were put in.
I know the car is already done, and I haven't watched the 3rd vid yet. I heard your delema about clamping that upper body panel, trunk corner into the sail panel area. You do really good work, and If you don't have any T-Butt clamps they're a super helpfull pain in the ass type of three handed clamp, but they're exactly what you'd want in that area. Just some times it takes a second set of hands to set them up. Nice job, harbor freight sells them and other places too
Also, that wood buck Is genius wish I had done that when I did my 47. It makes sense for any chop. Sometimes I get caught up in working with metal I forget that wood can be used and was used in building cars back in the good days. I had a 34 international truck turned rat pickup with some wood structures inside, a friend's brother had a 31 international and there was so much more wood used, and with a 3 year difference the doors went from full wood structure with skins attached with like staples or tacks, to full metal doors and full metal A pillar, with wood B pillar and rear of cab. Rattling on
As I have said before excellent work and nice calm clear informative commentary. So gratifying to watch a real tradesman . You have restored my faith I am not alone . Great looking car now is owner going to sell it . ££££££££ ??? And it is fucking good Fucking excellent actually 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Well the good news is if u were in Minnesota it would be in the 20s at night and u would have gotten 3 more inches of snow. I must say that the cool temp do seem to suit me more than that God for saken heat down South.
Hi, Looks like you did a very nice job. I really like you telling us how much time it took. I am so tired of seeing videos that let people think everything is done in 2-3 hrs.
No kidding. The problem with network“car shows” is they focus on drama and not technical. I honestly don’t know how anyone watches them. A normal car build in a average shop is years in the making not 45 minutes.
@Theoldironworkshop I haven't started yet. I've been collecting parts and cars all year so far. I picked up a 46 cadillac 4 dr I'm making a 2 dr convertible I think I'm going to start first.
I really admire your metal shaping skills . And all the other skills . The hand held planishing hammer your using where could I find something like that and is that what it’s actually called? Thanks for any info
Well, thank you very much. I made that I actually did a video on it about a year ago. But it’s a small handheld de scaler. I bought off Amazon and then modified it.
gopro shit is tough and it is alot of work I. try to record alot of stuff in my home shop and just moving camera around equipment and not burning your lens with weld or grinding sparks is a job and then finding a editing software that doesnt take a PHD to run is the next battle
Yes, I feel the pain. Trust me. It kind of went from being fun to like a job. I enjoy doing it as it’s sort of a new adventure, but it is a lot of work.
@@Theoldironworkshop I’m gonna keep at it! For now I’m putting up shit videos just to get the feel of it and I’m learning a lot about positioning and lighting the things you wouldn’t think about. Currently building a chopped 27 coupe then on to a 32 coupe
Yeah, there’s a lot to take into account when filming something for real. Over the last year I have learned tons. And still have tons more to learn. I never really used TH-cam before, so it’s all new to me.
Informative, entertaining and my rotator cuff is non the worse for it, TY 4 sharing BTW: where do we get the pneumatic hand garnade you used to planish
@@Theoldironworkshop Right n I think so huh n I have alot of others too n I finally paid off my home n properties n debts n so now I'm working on some of them
Videos to short and not enough seeing how it's done . So if it only going to be before and after views i may as well just buy a magazine like we had to do it before U-Tube . I watch only to see how it's done .
I agree with that. Ideally 45-60 minutes would be good. But time and logistics isn’t always on my side. I’m definitely in the learning phase of this project. Thank you for the input
Yeah nah dude,,,,,, what a pretty pretty thing that is!! When you have the ability to build cool shit like that,,, you earn the right to admit being a fukin legend once in a while 🤙 Very nice build.
Awsome job. You have exceptional talent working on these old beauties.
The car looks sweet, great job.
Thank you
Wow! I never checked to see the end result till now. Phenomenal job!! My brother looked like a happy camper.
Thanks again! It’s still not quite finished. Probably take it back in sometime in the winter to finish out a couple little items.
You Did an AWESOME JOB on this Nash! It came out Great! 🔥🚗❤️💯
Thank you. Still need to finish a few things before paint. But it’s getting there
Looks great…liked the background story about the car.

Yes for sure. Although there definitely is a growing interest in the old ways.
Turned out awesome.
Awsome channel. So major talent to be able to work on cars like that. Commendable.
I appreciate that!
Excellent job looks great
Thank you
Car looks fantastic lots of hours but so worth it. Thanks for sharing this build
You bet
You did a stellar job on that rod.
💪🏻
Man those Nashs are the king of art deco, the chop further enhances it. Looks fantastic!
Yeah, they really are pretty sexy and super rare
She’s beautiful
Awesome content
Love all the hard work
Thank you. Hoping to do a little bit more of the stuff.

Yeah you're right. Its a good looking car. Moreso when you lift it to drive height. The motor is such a turbine sounding mill too.
Yeah, the motor definitely has some pep
Looks amazing! Totally bad a$$. Great work!
Thanks a bunch!
I like the idea of the wooden window buck
Makes it much easier
Perfect car, totally faced up
Awesome fabrication work looks as mean as

And it is fucking good
Fucking excellent actually 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

@The Old Iron Workshop ok thanks would love to own this car
Yea man. Lukeing good
Beautiful ride!
Sexy
You are great! very good job!
Thanks a lot!
MAN I LOVE CARS LIKE THIS!!

I’m from Michigan originally. I’m not well suited for this type of weather.
That is BADASS
Bravo, Master !
Thank you

You are certainly accomplishing the fab.
Solid work.

Looks good! I have a 40 Lasalle coupe I'm hoping to get started on soon.
How’s the La Salle coming?

Much appreciated
Nicely Done !!
Car came out bad ass!!!!
Thank you.
That is a BAD ASS RIDE
Enjoy your videos, been watching just a short time but I think I'm hooked...keep em coming....Ralph
Good job!
Thanks!
man that thing is cool..
*Let the Sunshine In...*
Every day. Waiting for autumn so I can do some more work
So, why didn't they make 'em look like this in the beginning? Looks great! BTW, the best tool you have is patience.
Good question! I think it was for tall hats. Thanks
There are a lot of videos on finishing metal. The spoons are used more indirectly ie they slap at an oblique angle
I wasn’t saying they didn’t exist. I just haven’t seen them.
Same!
It looks great when it’s on the ground..when you bring it up to ride height it looks out of proportion… 39:18
I agree definitely should be driven a little bit lower
Hope there is a disco ball in that ginormous trunk.
That and a pole to dance on. The business coupes had huge trunks.
Lookin rad
thanks
Beautiful work! Just out of curiosity, is there a reason why you don't use electric shears instead of tin snips?
Really just depends on what I’m doing. Electric shears aren’t super accurate.
awesome
Thank you
Fuck yeah 🤘
