Here’s this insane #fullermoto V16 engine from @xvipower just incredible. Cadillac made a V16 back in the 30’s. There was also a concept from about 10 years ago with this motor. Perfect combination for this big #cadillac #fleetwoodbuild #5daybuilderchallenge
Same craft. Same skills. Just faster. Does this technology replace us builders? No, it’s just another tool. Like a hammer, like an English wheel-just way faster.
The process hasn’t changed. But instead of six months shaping panels by hand, we built these in days.
It doesn’t take away the craft-it just lets us create faster and better. More shops can take on custom work, more builders can push the limits, and we can get even more creative.

Watch out for the @saltworks3d and @figur.io shqped body we’re building next week! 23 builders attempting to create this body from scratch in 5 days. Watch out for content coming in hot starting soon. @ferrisstateu@rpmfoundation
Super pumped to get ahold of this 1960 Nibbling, reciprocating, or commonly called Pullmax machine. It’s a Trumph brand from Stuttgart imported into Merit Machine in Pittsburgh back in the day.
Retail was $7500 or $80k in today’s money. It’s huge and has made almost every Louver for our vehicles over the past 20 years. So excited to be able to use this baby to make some gorgeous metal! #fabrication #sheetmetal
Awesome to see a 50 year craftsman still happy and passionate about his craft! Ben is living my dream with a shop on the lake. Get out there and build something today!
Happy with how the floor is coming along. Finished one long term project in that now one more to go the Public Enemy! Can’t wait to see this girl run, plan is to drive it in bare metal first for a bit to make sure all the mechanicals are happy before coatings and finishes. #metalwork #sheetmetal
Fab Friday! Check out this aluminum radiator shroud I made this week. I say 6 weeks in the video but it’s been 6 months of mainly upholstery, wood, and finishing vehicles. #lincolnelectric #fabrication
Look at this gorgeous little OSCA by the Maserati brothers! Definitely one of my fav’s from @keelswheelsconcours last weekend! Rare gorgeous bird brought back from the brink to perfection. #maserati #osca
Had a blast this weekend trying to get my wits together after thrashing to finish the “Full-Bore” 1967 Correct Craft!
The classic boat guys seemed to really love it and we had a couple of visits by Carroll Shelby’s grandson to check out the Holman Moody powered 19’ beast!
There were a lot of nice tributes to my uncle Bob Fuller who started this event 30 years ago with some friends. Great debut I’ll be working to get a you tube video produced about the build asap.

4 days left till we leave for @keelswheelsconcours next weekend in Seabrook TX! Feeling tired and excited to see the “Full-Bore” all together after all these years of dreaming.
I’m finishing it in my Uncle Bob Fullers honor he passed this year and it’s the 30th anniversary of his real passion this event! Bob loved cars and boats like most of us Fuller men he lived on a sailboat with Judy his wife for many years. One reason I wanted a wood interior in my glass boat was the memories of that gorgeous teak interior of “Windsong” their 45 foot sailboat. Hope you’re proud of this tribute Bob we miss you!

Very tired but excited at the same time! It’s so gratifying and stressful finishing these long projects! 7 days a week 12 hour days for months will wear you out.
One week from today she’s heading to @keelswheelsconcours in seabrook Texas can’t wait to see the wood go in this girl and hear that 427 Side Oiler GT motor rumble again!
