Hey guys, I just purchased a 56 shorthood and was wondering if ya'll might know where I can get new sheetmetel for it. Also what would you guys be willing to pay for a short hood that needs a little work. Just wondering if I got a fair price. Thanks for looking
i picked up the nicest shorthood i own for $400 on a trailer, another not so nice for $650, and my middle shorthood for $1600, depends where you look and how many guys are interested. i get all my sheet metal from that place in Ok. been months hope they are still around and i cant tell you the name of the shop for sure but for some reason progressive metal works comes to mind
I checked with a industrial machine shop about the sheetmetal for mine and they told me about $70 to do the hood I supply the metal. I've had them break 3/16" plate for me before so I had an idea they might be able to do this. I'd check the phone book and just start calling around. The guys I talked to said they could use the original hood as a template.
what is "a little work"? If it is a stock 56 shorty (no upgrades or updates) but runs and welds $600-1000. Sheet metal for shorty 405-619-9988 ask for Robert or Jeff. They do all the metal I can't get from Lincoln.
Hi Kaye! This link to eBay, by any chance is this Robert or Jeff? I’ am just about ready to order a set of doors for my short hood. Ron Reich was telling me he gets his doors from this guy in Oklahoma City. Just looking for the best people to deal with! Thanks!
I’ve had 5 or 6 e-mails back and forth with Jeff. Seems like a very nice guy! Answered all my questions about doors for my SA-200. He is going to build me a set.
