Butch and Donna Downs 1934 Huppmobile Good Guys Street Rod of the Year Finalist
Butch and Donna Downs are finalists for Street Rod of the Year. Even though The Tin Man’s Garage, Inc. was not mentioned in the small article we did help out with this great build. We built the aluminum lift off cover for the convertible top that was upholstered by Schober’s in Sandwich, IL. The difficult part of this was that nothing could be welded on the car because it was already painted and upholstered. All of the seams had to fit perfectly to be riveted on the car or welded off the car. The fit and finish came out great and it fits like a glove, take a look and see how it was done.
Finished Fabricating Ron Wiggens A-400 Aluminum Hood and Sides
I met Ron way back in Indy when I unveiled my roadster. Ron has a great eye for proportions and “the look”. Ron has always built his own cars himself but for this project he asked for a little help on the hood and sides. I had to machine three sets of dies to do all the bead details on the Pullmax. I left the PVC coating on the aluminum and only removed the sections I was working on and after I was done there was 90% of the raw aluminum finish untouched, which shows no ripples or lines. We are both ecstatic with the way it turned out. Take a look and see how it was built.

New Tech Article In Street Rodder Magazine
I teamed up with Tim Bernsua from Street Rodder magazine and had the honor to write a couple of tech articles. This was an exciting opportunity for me since Street Rodder magazine has been one of my favorite magazines since I was a child.
