Amazing. That's a quality build. Imagine the guy that finds this truck in a barn covered up in 60 years. You guys are on top of your game keep up the great work. Did you guys install the front and rear suspension. If so what were your thoughts on the kits. Have fun building.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

awesome build.where did you get those hood hinges? i love the idea of replacing the the spring style hinges that comes off the firewall with hatch door shocks.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

We custom built the hood hinges for that exact reason.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Will those hinges be available through your shop? Or is it strictly a one off deal?

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

I did not plan to get into the hood hinge business. I was more surprised to find nobody made any for that truck so we just had to make them. We made these hinges by hand and did not set up for production.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

wow. 'nuf said. Subscribing for sure

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Unbelieveably awesome! Love, Love love the copper-root beer color. All the best for SEMA.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

I don't think I could own something that nice! if somebody got too close I'd have a heart attack.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Awesome build, I love all the small details that make you stare at the truck until you figure out what was done.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Thanks guys. The details list is long on this one.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

A beauty

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Well Guys these pics are about a week old. But like wide enjoy. This was from the first time in 2 months the customer had seen the truck with his wife. He was very pleased to say the least.

How about this for a hood emblem

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Is the Script and Bow Tie raised?

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

yeap

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Wow really nice truck,nothing like watching craftsmen at work producing a piece of art.What does it cost ball park for a truck of that caliber $$$$$$$

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

"WELL" if you have to ask !!!

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

How did you get rid of all the machining lines on the emblem?

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

They were not quite as rough as the up close picture showed. Just some block sanding and polishing really.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

I did machine work for 20 years, sometimes you get some wild optical illusions. some times they look deep but you can't even feel them.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

I see a 55/ 56 pickup in the background...but I am guessing it's not going to be as insane as the black 57? The 48 is more than awesome by the way. Maybe I'll get the patience for this level someday. The things I seem to look past on mine are really just a matter of a "oh well, it's just going to be a driver, I want it done now" attitude.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

The truck in the back ground is a project at the painters shop where we have been handling reassembly.



Late last night the truck was picked up from Ron Mangus and hauled back to the bat cave to install the final details on the truck. Here is a sneek peak at how it is shaping up. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics, but something is better then nothing.

Ron Mangus Is my hero, Every time I see their work I go and practice sewing!

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Looking better all of the time. Please show us A LOT of interior pics when it is finished. I still need to do my interior and seeing how a pro did it will help.

Nice work
Marc

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Super slick truck!!! Can you tell me what front suspension you are using? Thanks

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Is that the radio sticking out under the front of the seat? What else do You have stashed under there, seems like a good place to put stuff you dont want to see.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Is that the chrome plated brass on the door panels...................at $20.00 inch !!!
Nice touch Ron does some VERY nice work

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Did y'all get the truck to SEMA? I’m super anxious to see finished product pics. Keep pushing the envelope guys. And one more question would you proffer to build the tube chassis or a box frame chassis? Just curious because the tube frame chassis was awesome.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

The truck made it to SEMA. I will post more pics in the next few days.

As far as round tube or square tube chassis, that really depends on what the customer desires. The round tube is quite a bit more work.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

The talk at the donut shop Sat morning from the 10 guys that attended the show voted your truck " Best in show"

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Well Thank you very much.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

i happen to see this truck at sema and when i say its nice it nice i like it alot. i have pictures of it but not sure if it okay to post since they are showing the whole build.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Post all you want. Nothing to hide.

I'm waiting for some nice weather and I will take some nice detail shots. I was so busy at SEMA I forgot to take pics of it parked in place at the show.

Re: The 48 chevy truck Ironworks is building.
 

Nice N/C work.
