Hmmm, the 3-in-1 might be a good way to break into it.

An English wheel would make that panel so nice.

Is that the last patch panel for it to be completely sealed up?

Wow great fabrication, on such a complicated shape. Thanks for teaching. You don't need an English Wheel, your amazing with the brake.

Awesome work as always FF! I haven't visited this thread in a while....my mistake. I thought I was subscribed...ooops. Now, I'm kinda glad I wasn't because you have kicked some serious butt since last visit.
Crazy skills man. I too have fab envy. Thanks for sharing all your engineering ideas with us. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
It's like a train wreck, it's so ugly... it's freakin' awesome. I didn't have time to read through it all, but I would go with the sleeper look. Original looking rims and hubcaps and a quiet exhaust that would dust anything at a redlight. It's a Youtube video just waiting to happen. Z06 vs. Sunbeam Minx.

I kept the original wheels and caps. Plan on getting them redrilled for the new 5-lug pattern and running them occasionally. It'll be a hectic ride though; those tire are tiny (185/60/13 or so). Won't be runnin with vettes with those tires, but should be some fun driftage |

as for stock steelies with hubcaps, you should look into the dodge caliber stock steelies. they are 17" http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Dodge...item2566cda649 then you can run with the vettes in true sleeper fashion!
