Beautiful work as usual Flop! Thanks for sharing. You started with a really clean canvas. Looks like someone's Rod project began with the purchase of a very straight restored car?
It's dangerous letting me look at builds like this.....I get ideas going, then I try them, then I "F" something up majorly
Thanks guys . Probably the nicest original car I will ever have the chance to cut up . Not one patch in the car all original steel . Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
In this case less is more. The conservative haircut was the way to go. The metal work/welding is quite impressive Sent from my SM-G550T1 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The Walden insert you used,is it for a 32,Did you have to trim it,Looks great,Are you bringing the piece you made to Hershey,Thanks Lucky
Yes I plan on bringing some . It's an A insert and yes it needs trimmed on each side . Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Great job as always. I'd be interested in the details of making the roof panel removable, or more crucially the attachment method! Chris
That's what I was wondering as well. My first thought was simple threaded studs welded underneath, that would slip through holes drilled into the ribs, then nuts and washers. It might not look super clean, but should function, depending on headroom.
We use PEM type clinch studs for this type application in our sheet metal cabinet work. Probably not ideal for a painted panel (could crack the paint when tightening them) but they would be excellent for a vinyl covered one. http://www.pemnet.com/fastening-products/studs-and-pins/
