model a roof

[/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH][/ATTACH]


im not a wood person and i decided on this design for my roof spurs. well ive finally got them done and i thought id share them with you. the next stage is to make the roof sides and then the removable centre. i plan to do a centre like the 32 bonneville car of chris. his thread has given me lots of inspiration, thanks for looking

 

that is some very nice work

 

wow...you dont need no stinkin wood !! looks great

 

Great job! Keep us posted!

 

No wood..sorry bout yer luck

just messin with ya, ..cool concept, going to leave it open to be seen?

 

X2... Way too nice to cover it up. Awesome work!

 

Pure art!

 

Wow looks great! How much time do you have in it?

 

thankyou, ive got about 2 weeks worth of nights and weekends in the roof so far. im going to make the centre panel removable and nickel plate the cross spurs

 

Stunning werk, thanks for sharing!!!

 

nice job

 

had a rest for a while. now back into it. started making new roof panels to allow for an aluminium roof insert

 

You didn't actually whittle them out of solid strapping one hole at a time did you (as in the pic of it on the milling table)? And the ends, are they seperate? - they don't look it but i just can't imagine you cutting the 'stringers' out of solid chuncks of aluminum, you'd need a snow shovel to gather the shavings.
Nice work. I like the visor too.

 

i made a template and had them lasercut. i then milled the scollops invidually, yes a lot of work. the ends are welded on and fettled.

 

WOW! I noticed the rear wheel well relocation, this looks like detail packed build POST MORE PHOTOS! Bob

 

Great way to replace the wood, your work looks fantastic.

 

The roof bows look great
Nice work
