Beadroller Build (Turned into sheetmetal work thread)

[Deuling]

I wish I had tried to argue a 1/2" thick top into the deal.... But oh well.

I re geared a 14bff that took me about 4 hours time in trade for the frame and top. I think it was more than worth it.

Going to check out a job on Sunday.

-"So what all do you need me to make?"

-"The whole interior"

Im thinking this will be the downpayment on my house....

I gotta go look at it before we discuss details. About an hour and a half away.
Ill do whatever he wants me to do. As long as the cash is there.

Depending on the detail and who is doing the mounting tabs and retainers, you can easily double that number.

 

[Deuling]

He said the majority of it will just need some simple beads to add strength etc. not super fancy like my signs and stuff.

But we will see.

I don't have a problem mounting the tabs. I'll just have to stop in at A&A and pick up a gazillion trick tabs

Good thing you are skinny enough to fit between all those bars.

How far are you from A&A?

I wish I was that close....Great company to deal with.

 

[Deuling]

They are awesome people. Its a candyshop to walk through.

 

[Deuling]

So, this is going to be a lot of work.

Deep breath.

That's a $67k engine sitting there under that masking tape.

 

[campfire]

Sounds like an awesome customer to have.

Good thing you have your new work table all set up.

 

[truck-oholic]

Is it done yet?

How long did he give you?

Is it done yet?

How long did he give you?

He will have it here in a few weeks. Hopefully enough time to finish my table.

Then he is hoping to have it back in about a 6 week time period. I hope I can do that.

Then he is hoping to have it back in about a 6 week time period. I will find a way to do that.

FFY.

Dude, you are going to have your hands full. But I have yet to see you not deliver. You got this.

 

[Deuling]

I GOTS DIS!!!

I just need to crank the tunes, and remember to eat food. Im good at getting into work mode and forgetting to eat anything until im sickly 10 hours later... lol.

The 1/8" plate for the bottom of the table should be cut for me to pick up today. Then I can start loading the bottom of it with all my tools.

I think being organized and having all my stuff at the fab table, and not spread all over the shop, will save on a lot of time.

 

[GWeakland620]

You are going to be set up for success. I can't wait to see the finished product. You will be famoser for sure.

 

[Deuling]

I don't want to be famous.

I just want to make cool things
