Braces for a sun visor

Was at House of Kustomz (Brians part of the former Pirate Kusomz, after what feels like a bad divorce) to help prepare for the show at Bella Center the comming weekend. Tonights task was to fabricate a pair of braces for the sun visor on the newly build '28 Chevé pick-up (a cut-down two door sedan), as the old casted ones was broken.
I hammered a piece of steel pipe flat, bended it, and made it fit.





The visor end was threaded to match the old brass bolts, and the A-pillar end was rivited to the pillar.

Last week I was out at Tim's new garage, where he is working on the chopped '53 Pontiac for a customer down south.
I especially like the modified molding on the B post:



I will not be going to either shops as often as in the old days- not because, I like one part better than the other, but because neither of the guys behind the shops have been up to my garage, helping me with my projects. So, one hour spend on helping them, is an hour less for working on my own cars.

Keep 'em kruzin!
