Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

the bends look nice and straight you just need to grind some of the little tabs that stick out and polish it
if you run some stainless , rubber or plastic edge over the holes they will look a lot better too

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

that top piece that looks unfinished right in front of the mount will be boxed in and welded up nice, i have that left to do and make the mounts to attach the shroud at the bottom, and also cut down the top rubber mounts it needs to sink down just a little to be flush with the core support at the top .

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

i seen those domes before , you should check out some cheap desklights or halogen transformer covers , you only need to sandblast those and and the three legs on it

or maibe the bottom of some trow away weldinggastanks or a small aluminium cookingpot
