sheetmetal

im not very good especially without a break, im just using a vise, torch, a couple large pieces of metal with a couple of C clamps:redneck: i got this little carbide tipped saw blade that i made fit a 4 1/2 grinder and i cuts aluminium like butter but it sure makes a mess. all the little sparkles are bits of razor sharp alum.

some of the finishing touches that will be hidden, thanks james for the welding.:beer: little tabs and or reinforcement so i can tap the aluminium for 1/4-20 fasteners and have enough metal to actually hold something.:redneck:

Looking good there Hip, you do nice Sheetmetal work for being a Nut and Bolt Twister.

Hip · Oct 8, 2009

im sick of the sound of my aluminium saw cutting metal, makes my teeth grind. :redneck:

almost done with that phase. i thought i was all done but when i put it all together last night i realized i needed two more tabs welded for tapping.:looser:

one more long day and the interior sheetmetal will be done. then another week on the cowl area.....:eeek:

bump stop for mock-up?

anyone have any bump stops i could use for mock up?

one of the last things i need to set up and dont have the parts or cash to buy right now. if i could borrow one that would be great then i can finnish off fabrication and dissassemble for finish weld and chassis paint.

Beautiful build, i'm just down here in Lynnwood if you need some help lifting or cleaning.

I can do mechanical work but not welding/fab .... atleast not yet

I might need some help welding on my truck, so we could exchange services ..

Beautiful build again - how does the horseless carriage thing work? Is that going to be street legal?
