“Lead Sleds” get their name from all the lead that was used as filler on the roofs after the amateur metal work was done to the chop top. Such is not the case on this 1950 Shoebox Ford. The metal work on this car is so nice that it will barely need any filler at all.

Matt and Pete (son and father) wanted to learn how to do custom metal work so they signed up for one of our metal shaping seminars that we host here at Hammerfab. They came all the way from Florida to attend a class where we explained how to do the metal work the right way. During lunch break Matt and Pete approached Levi about doing some work to Matt’s 1963 Impala four door hard top. Whenever someone says “Hey, I’ve got classic. Can you work on it for me? Oh, by the way it’s a four door”! Most of the time we car builders cringe unless its a suicide door 62-67 Lincoln Continental or a super rare Paeton or 32 Ford or something like that. The sad truth is that most of the desirable two door versions of all the classics are getting harder to find and very expensive if you can find one. Such was not the reasoning for Matt and Pete wanting to build a four door hard top.

If you are keeping up with all the C10 trends then you have probably seen or heard of this truck which has been under construction for quite some time. It started at another shop and was brought to Hammerfab to help line out the major fabrication and put that Hammerfab touch on it. The details on this truck are insane! We can’t show them all but here are a few pics to give you a glimpse of how nice this truck is going to be. The goal is to compete for Goodguys Truck of the Year.
