Inspired by Blue's fancy bead rolling... I'm thinking about a couple removable heat shields for the glass panels in the sleeper. I was thinking about early ford V8 emblems, but making the round portions of the 8s seems like it would be a challenge with my manual crank bead roller. Any tips for success?
It’s all good Skier . Jamey Jordan has a YouTube on doing that v8 . I’ve done one , you will probably need someone to turn your handle as you need both hands on most circles . Let me know if you need anything . Should look like this when done . Let me know and I can mail you a paper layout . Blue
That thing is beautiful, Blue! Wow! Here I was thinking a single bead roll and just the emblem itself..... I'll check out that video. thanks!
Awesome panels in that- diamond pleats too! Pretty sure I’d be working I’m at least a sturdy driveline strap for that*****er, after seeing what a broken ujoint did to the bottom of my Chevy it’d be scary to wind that supercharged devil up and wring it out. (Just thinking out loud)
Never saw that , when I’ve been around him , lastest at SEMA , he draws it out on paper then tapes it down to material and tracks it on the material with this little wheel that has points , used in sewing and it makes small dots in metal . Then he draws that pattern on it . I have used tattoo pattern paper and used it . Also have copies of art I get off internet and use tracing paper , then go over it with sharpie. On a side note if you send me that rusted pan could you make a cordboard cutout templet of profile side to side and top to bottom. Blue I’ve also been told that they make a transfer paper that will go through a printer . 200 miles to any place that might have it for me so I haven’t even looked .
