Re: 65 Fairlane pro-touring build
I've been whittling on the aluminum box to recess the pedals so they'll clear the back of the driver side cylinder head. I'm down to the faceplate that goes on the engine bay side of the firewall. It's testing my patience since most of the machining operations have to be done with the material sitting on the table. I wasted one chunk of 3/16 plate trying to use the vise and machinist's jacks to hold it. So now I'm having to reposition the part after every cut which means using the edge finder each time to know where I am in 2D space. I'm beginning to regret my decision to bypass a fixture. But I'm getting there.
