I’ve thought of making a few just GMC logos and leaving some cupped. I like how the banjo strings tie in with the logo on his heater box and I think he used a banjo string steering wheel to tie it all together. It would go well with the finned valve covers too.
I had no idea this was possible & glad I subscribed after seeing two of your other videos. The upper windshield and the flush dimple die videos were both excellent as well .
Thank you I greatly appreciate it. Hope some of what I show helps on any project you have. Yes metalshaping is an amazing art. I really enjoy learning and accepting the challenge to create things like this.
Thanks glad you dig it. We were really pleased how it all came together the banjo strings from the heater box emblem and the GMC logo really tied the truck together.
I think it's pretty cool too. Would you be willing to share how many total hours it took to make one? So often average people vastly underestimate the design, template creation, execution and finishing labor required to achieve such detailed work.👍👍😎👍👍
Thanks. Awesome question I did this a few years back but from design to finish I probably had 40 hours. I’ll try to remember to add that in future videos thanks.
Thank you . I believe the heat is all under the dash. He did put through the firewall brakes in it and a V-8. I haven’t seen it since a made the firewall but I’m hoping to get another video once the truck is done.
Really nice work on the firewall, what was the material thickness you used? I bet you could eliminate the hand plannishing if you switched to a larger diameter upper pusher die after you got to depth with the smaller diameter one.
Thank you. This was 18ga 1080 cold rolled but it wasn’t AKDQ which would have been a better material. Yes chasing with the other punch would help. This was my first try at running something on the Pullmax like this so I learned a lot of lessons on it
@@motleymetals super cool results. I recently did a much simpler design with the same method on my pullmax with 16 gauge plain cold rolled. It worked out great. About a 1/4” draw with multiple passes. I like that you have a larger table for support, that’s a good call.
That’s rad. Yeah the table die can be a lifesaver. I built 2 one strictly as a table the second is a pass through so my die can pass through and I can do more delicate work and be more supported
I think I like the GMC letters the way they come out the first time cupped that was kind of cool looking

Always impressed by your work.
Thank you. You should do some horse training videos or some new fishing videos
Awesome work sir and thanks for the tip with the magnet and filings areal gem 👍👍
No problem hope it helps

VERY cool indeed! Well done and thank you for sharing the process with us. Just found your channel.
Thank you
That looks like a million bucks, especially after painting.
Yes it does I’m hoping to be able to do a walk around video once he gets the truck finished.
Awesome!
Thank you
I love it
Thank you
outstanding! very nice! I can't wait to get a pullmax
They are amazing machines. Lennox makes a nice reciprocating hammer and echold has the Piccolo

Very niiice. Just need a straight 6, no heater and the brakes under the floor so it doesnt cover any of your work

Liked it better right off the pullmax
