    Hey Spanky, this is one of your most popular videos. The sequel would probably do really well too. So just a reminder that there are 4.6K watchers anxiously waiting.....Thanks !!

      I know. I have to finish the edit and post it up and then I need to finish the top in the last episode. It’s so much work and time. The time is killing me. Thanks so very much for your support and feedback my friend

    Hi Spanky, this video garnered 6.4 thousand views. This is significantly more views than your other videos receive. Its been a year, perhaps its time to give the channel a shot in the arm and release that long awaited sequel part 2. Happy holidays !!

    Very cool, I had never even considered attempting to fab my own top for a project. But not In the future I just might. Thanks for the inspiration!

      I thought I would mention that I am not a tire kicker. I realize that the top won't fit every body out there. I like the top and plan to make my body fit the top. I am not in love with the back of my cab but i really like your top and I have the ability to make the body fit the top and look right. The look right part is what I am after. I had seen your video on making a top and am anxiously awaiting further installments. I have a heavy duty sewing machine but it isn't a walking foot model. I would still like to purchase your top even though you are showing us how to build one. I am currently building a 32 roadster pickup, a 32 roadster, a 32 5 window, and a 34 3 window coupe. I am considering building a 34 pickup as it should have been done by Henry. I will modify a 34 3 window coupe body and build a smooth side bed. If it looks cool, and why wouldn't it ? I will then make a mold.

    Hello 👋
    I have a 31 ford model A coupe. Is it possible to cut the top off and make a roadster ?
    Or is it too much work.
    Thank you

      Cool, what’s is the easiest software to use for the Langmuir cnc. Is there a free version ? Thanks

    • @camcutcnc
      @camcutcnc 10 місяців тому +1

      I was the second guy in this country to manufacture and sell low cost CNC plasma systems. That was roughly 30 years ago I have taught hundreds of people how to draw and make code. If you are having a problem you need to be able to send me a CAD file so I can see where your mistake is. Today most companies have you login to their server so they can manipulate your file. I don't do enough tech support to warrant that.

    • @SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
      @SpankysHotRodsandCustoms  10 місяців тому

      @camcutcnc my first problem is no software. I’ve had the table for 3 years and the software went out before I could learn it. I need to find new software with a easy learning curve for a beginner

    • @camcutcnc
      @camcutcnc 10 місяців тому +1

      In my experience of teaching thousands of people to do this, if you practice drawing like I say, you will remember it. I have a friend here in Ocala who has been doing metal art for about 6 years, he still calls every few months when the machine frustrates him. It is a lot easier to be successful if you have tech support rather than being frustrated.@@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms
