Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
That's a heavy solid door. I would hate to be the guy with the new tinfoil car (any new car) parked beside you when the wind catches it. LOL. Nice work.

Well we started today marking out the donor roof for the center roof panel and cut it out. Then we spent 6 hours measuring drawing cutting and discarding templates for the center roof support. We finally got one that looks right and set it in place |

We had to redo the pattern for the center roof. We finally got the design right and started making the pieces for the roof panel. Still more to go but we got a start on it.

We made some more progress on the center roof section today. Made a bunch of cross pieces with a small flange on the bottom. We got them tacked in place then started welding them solid

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Very creative way to build a roof section. I can imagine standing there, staring at that area, scratching my head....and I never would have thought of that solution. Always enjoy checking out what you are doing.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Lookin real good. That should give lots of subport for the hinges. :metal:

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Interesting, can't wait to see how this turns out.

Yesterday we added some more support to the top edges of the center roof. And then we replaced a section of weatherstrip flange that was rusted. |

Dale, that's quite a structure you're building to support your doors. Light but very strong I'd guess. I'm looking forward to seeing the doors come together. Nice work (as always). |

Pimpston. I'm really looking forward to seeing pictures of the new digs. A three car garage should give you room store everything with room to work.
Joedoh. Thanks. That's just hilarious :haha::haha::haha: John. Thanks. I think the doors are going to be a bit complicated to build. But we'll get to them soon. Here's a couple of pictures of progress on the front upper door frame. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks for all the pictures and explanations. It is great to see the work that you are doing.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Hmmm, I just noticed the step downs in the roof. I wonder how much more complicated this will be for the gullwing to accomplish.

We started making the door frame corners today. We bent and curved the first piece , notched the water channel sides and tacked the ends.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Looking forward to seeing how the hinges install and work. Lotta thinking in those I am sure.
