Default Hi From San Francisco

Hi,

My name is Jason. I grew up here in the bay area, moved to Austin in 2000 then moved back here in 2011. I make motorcycle frames and a slew of other stuff.

Seven years ago I set out to stamp a 32 Ford 5-Window body, got pretty far with it and stamped a few pieces, but the economy dumped I stuck it out with motorcycles. I had a 32 body white light scanned, made aluminum dies and stamped them with a Hydraulic press I bought out of Ohio. The bed of the press was 48 x 48. Ive attached a picture of it laid on top of the Ford blueprints....

Glad to see that its been done by someone else now.

Im going to do something a little more simple now..like build a bead roller

-Jason

Hello Jason and welcome to the forum.

Take a look at the bead roller on my web site.

Hi Jere,

We talked about going, but nothing materialized.

How was it?

Hi Jason. The show was great. Didn't get to see it all for talking shop with old friends.

I spent some time with Ron Covell and he mentioned that John Forbes is having a get together sometime in October. I'm going to call him tomorrow and get more info.

I have 2 places open for my class September 19th and 20th. Would you be interested? Call if you are.
