Making your own Patch Panel - English Wheel

Hey!

Just wanted to share my english wheel experience.

I needed to replace the back panel of my 35 (was crushed). I made a thread asking if anyone could make one for me with no luck. So I went to Harbor Freight and bought an english wheel and in a few hours made my own panel. To be honest it was pretty easy (not trying to knock the masters.. There is a art to it) and luckily my panel was just a very simple crown. So just a heads up to anyone intimidated by an english wheel. You most likely will be able to make a panel in just a few hours. Will it need bondo? Yep But it gets the job done.

Ignore that street rod in the back. One day I will redo it and finish it.

 

Fun, aint it? Good job.

 

Yes it was pretty fun doing it.

 

Nice work. So jealous you have a garage to work in. Keep it up

 

looks good and nice garage too plenty of room

 

Nice work!

 

Good job! If I had more space in my garage I would have one of those as well..

 

Thanks all! Like I said it was pretty fun... The real question is will I ever use this thing again!? Hopefully.

 

Nice job and regardless of whether or not you do use it again, It paid for itself.
