Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Quote:
Yes........ Seems we both had the same ideas after yesterday. Came home tonight and thought I would give making the next panel for mate Martin's truck a go. My piece of railway line that Woodsie got me years ago, again came in really handy. Can you say ANVIL ?? So using the sharp top curved edge, I started to bend the edge over. Of course putting a curve at 90' to an existing flat surface, meant the plate started curling up like the "Fortune telling fish" you get in Christmas crackers. So I took the hacksaw and cut slits in the edge of the curve, managing to complete the fold over. ![]() Then drilled in the mounting hole for the fender in the plate. Using the step drills Ta2Don sent me last year. Amazing tools they are. ![]() Next up I cut the lip back by about 8mm to get it to loser to the size needed on the truck. Then I welded all the cuts back together........ Using my mobile to get one of the best ever action pics in my opinion. ![]() Then into the woodwork shed, to use my linisher to work it back to smooth and flat, flush. ![]() Finished product, ready to be welded back into the fire wall. ![]() Even if I say so, I am starting to enjoy this thing.
