Coupe Simone What's New

Переглядів 966Рік тому

I've had questions and messages concerning the Coupe Simone build, so hopefully this will answer a few of them! And an official announcement that Coupe Simone is for sale or commission. Who will own this gorgeous piece of automotive art? Some say Jay Leno, some say Billy Gibbons!?? Maybe it will be you... I personally have no idea, but if you do, I can be reached at iconicrods@gmail.com!

Laser Welding Aluminum

With our new IPG Photonics LightWeld XR laser welder we test .063 thick 3003-H14 sheet with .047 4043 wire in this system. A little play time to adjust some preset programs and we're ready to weld some butt joints. I truly believe this will change the way many industries will fabricate the world. We will be welding a lot of aluminum on Coupe Simone and this is going to save us a lot of time not...

We've had a ton of questions from a couple of quick videos I posted on social media so, we decided to answer some of those questions and learn the machines capabilities as you watch along as we test this new technology out! We have just touched on the beginning of the uses, and we are doing it using 18 gauge .050) mild steel. This machine comes with some presets, but we will need to adjust to s...

Ep 3 Coupe Simone

Переглядів 2,5 тис.Рік тому

On Episode 3 we start shaping body panels from .063 3003-H14 aluminum panels. This series of aluminum is the most common for shaping body panels as it works nicely and easy to anneal to make it softer when needed. We start with easier panels and work our way to the more difficult ones. This entire car is full of shape!

As we move on to creating the wire form buck we need to shape each individual station in order to create the 3-dimensional body shape. We use a combination of mild steel materials to fabricate this large wire form.

Join us as we start at ground zero and fabricate the huge frame rails into a chassis that will be used on Coupe Simone. And we'll do it without a chassis table or jigs or fixtures. We will cut, weld plasma cut, grind, rinse and repeat until we have a matching set! we will start with patterning and template layouts to show you that it can be done easily with basic tools.

Coupe Simone to be coach built! All hand fabricated starting in 2023

Переглядів 692Рік тому

Originally designed and released in 1996, a mythical and legendary car appeared with a story so believable most people thought was real. And, in a sense it is, in a model. Fifteen hundred 1:24 scale diecast collectors' models were made along with authenticity certificates by the Franklin Mint. The story was told that two immigrant coachbuilders set up shop in Pennsylvania and designed and built...

As we plan and prepare for this incredible build, our friend Rodney Lynch owner of 3DG3 Engineering comes in to scan our diecast model and gives us a brief overview of using a 3D scanner to turn a three-dimensional model into two dimensional patterns from sections to create a skeleton of pieces we will turn into a full-size wire form to fabricate an aluminum body of Coupe Simone the Midnight Gh...

As we continue the fabrication, metal shaping, bead rolling, tube bending and welding on Mighty Mouse it is slowly starting to come together and look like something. With the LS-7 in place coupled to a TH-400 transmission we can see the room we have now to work with. All done here at Iconic Rod & Custom!

This time on Episode 7, we'll fabricate reinforcements for the roof panels, metal shape filler panels and english wheel and power hammer to shape some of the pieces needed to close the cab back up. I'll use dimple dies to make a reinforcement stronger, mig-weld and tig weld pieces. We'll also start the hidden roll cage.

On this episode we'll install some of the suspension, fabricate a chassis table to move the project onto to free up the fab table. Well fabricate and install the front crossmember, sqaure everything up once more then set the body on the chassis. Once that's all squared up also, we start cutting to split the cab in two.... or five pieces. The metal work is about to get more entailed and show you...

In this episode we'll fit the rear cab panel and fabricate the cab corners to flow with the contour of the rear doors. We are doing this using basic hand tools and a mig welder. we will then dress up the part, so it looks like one solid piece.
