What are you covering it with? I'm envious of the metal work! Looks good.

[reaper71]

Well thank you very much Robert!

The entire set will be painted.

[reaper71]

Thanks Russ.

The product I use for making patters etc. is called Ramboard. it's used for covering floors while moving furniture.

ramboard looks similar to the chipboard paper I use

[RockinKees]

Had to read back a little
Nice work again Mark!

[reaper71]

Greg,The ramboard is 3ft by 50ft roll so you can just cut to the size you need.
where do you get the chipboard paper?

[reaper71]

Thank You Kees

Pic 1. The band all drilled .

Pic 2. The top piece drilled as well.
Both of these will match the other pieces in the truck.

Pic 3. After putting insulation on back of cab I made pieces for mounting the fuse panel and this will aid in mounting clips for the wiring.


Mark.

That looks good. Very nice.

[reaper71]

Thanks again Robert!

[joedoh]

beauty man! I am going to check local for some ramboard

[mongocanfly]

Mark..I've been getting the chipboard from a local shipping company...i also have some of what they call craft paper....the craft paper i got from a return goods sale we have at work...its on a 3ftx50ft roll...the chip board is 4x4 squares...the chipboard is .022 thick and the craft paper is .005 thick...
I've been useing both to make transfer patterns.....

[reaper71]

Thanks Russ!

[reaper71]

Greg, Yes ive used the craft paper as well. It is a bit flimsy for making some templates. The RamBoard can be bent with a sheet metal break to make a perfect template.

[reaper71]

Here is a pic of the Ramboard I use
It is .033 thick and as I'm showing here it bends and holds its shape reallynice.


Mark

[mongocanfly]

That is nice....I need to find me some of that...

[reaper71]

Pic 1. This was just after I painted the floor with POR 15

Pic 2. The next day I was able to install the 3M insulation.

Mark

[mongocanfly]

What 3M insulation?....

[mongocanfly]

Just for my curiosity I tried the chip board in my metal break....works pretty good...I'd hadn't thought about bending it in the break....that's a good idea Mark..

[reaper71]

I get it at our local paint store (colorvision) ill see if I can get the part # for you.
they come in 19x19 sheets and very sticky. a box of 10 sheets is $78 and you can by them a sheet at a time as well.


Mark

[reaper71]

here is a shot of the insulation at my shop.

The link from Amazon is exactly the same stuff.
A box of 10 is $89 so a bit more expensive.
