Shop Visit: Ryno Built 1-25-14

So yesterday I posted about the new transmission cross-member that my buddy Ryno at Ryno Built did for me. While I was there I snapped some photos of some of the other rides that are at Ryno Built. His truck was the 62 Unibody Ford that I was lucky enough to shoot for the cover of the Feb. 2014 issue of Classic Trucks Magazine. Since selling the truck to it’s new east coast home he’s been busy working on a Mercury project for a client from Texas, and driving a cool Chevy wagon that he bought from that same client.

Ryno has these two vehicles for future customer projects or for sale. If you’re interested lookup Ryno Built on Facebook.

The 3 carb setup is just for looks for now, a new 350 crate now sits atop a bagged suspension with a Mustang II and custom rear suspension setup.

With the ability to lay frame without being channeled this car sits as low as it can. Ryno upgraded the bags for this ride from the bags that came with the kit that the owner had purchased to some that would require less air pressure to attain right height with a better ride quality. That’s the knowledge that you get when you go to someone who’s been doing it for years. Most would have used the bags that came with the kit and would have complained about the ride quality not knowing that there were other options.

The Merc’s owner also owns this 59 Ford Fairlane Galaxie. It has recently been upgraded with these new TruSpoke wheels and some thin white wall tires. Some upgrades to the air ride system will have this ride ready to go again.

The view looking out of Ryno’s garage door. A pretty mean looking group.

While we worked on my Galaxie the daylight slipped away and the temps in the shop dropped. The Merc just looked cool sitting out there, just waiting to get back in and get more love.

Thanks for following along folks, tomorrow’s post will feature a shop visit from my drive home where I stopped at Fast AL’s Upholstery.

See you at a show,

Shop Visit: Ryno Built and the Sharer 50 Merc “Sweet Memories”

After the Stray Kat Feed my dad and I loaded up in the F250 and headed 2 hours east to Ryno Built to take a peek at a frame that he’s been working on for my buddy Jeff from Texas. The plan is to get the frame finished up, painted and then move on to body work including a chop. The frame came in with a Street Rod Engineering Mustang II subframe already installed but Ryno finished it out and smoothed out some of the welds, etc.

Here’s some photos of the Chassis with the new Coker wide whites and chrome wheels, notice the exhaust and fuel line/brake line tunnels made in the x-frame so that the frame lays flat.
