Re: Dutch 1955 build
Nice clean accessory bracket installation on the engine. Too many of the aftermarket systems seems to be over done and wanting to show off the brackets rather than the engine. Frame is looking very cool too.

Did u just cut it out with a saw? What then? What gauge metal can you emboss? Do you use a press?

the outher bowtie is made out of 2 pieces and welded back together as you can see in the picture. i made them only into 19 gauge sheet (1mm) but i am confident thicker sheet would work too i use a medium press (max 4400lbs) and press it between 2 thick piece of steel to spread the load equaly |
