Thanks Nolan, my back is alot better now. Problem I have now is that I’ve been away a lot for work and my wife is claiming all the time I’m home. You know when she starts in the morning with “what are your plans for today?”. This is code for what are you going to do for/with me.Just going through your thread catching up, sorry to hear about your fall Michael. Hope you feel better soon man.
Oh you may already know this but it helps with my back pain. When your standing in one spot for awhile place one foot on a block of some kind, swap out with the other ever so often. I usually use a cinder block or something about that high.

Going to be away untill Christmas most of the time so she wants to make most of the time I’m here.
Hoping to get back at it after christmas.
Currently in CDN for work, and it looks like the next few weeks my work will be taking up most of my time.
I am thinking about building a buck fot the rear part of the tub. It will make lining up the different sections easier.
Plus I have decided I want to fabricate steel flares incorporated in the rear fenders.
I already made them for the ‘78 but want to make them nicer on this one.
Just learning as I go.Can hardly wait, really enjoy looking at how you go about fabricating those parts.
Just learning as I go.
And of corse taking the opportunity to collect tools on the way.
I was in a machine shop yesterday where they have a s***load of CNC devices working. One was an 11 axis mill.
Like 2 5 axis combined with the 11th for transfer between the 2 parts. Much to complicated for me but realy fun to look at.
It was nice to see they still use conventional machines too, made me feel less of a dinosaur.![]()
Thanks Nolan, I was spending a lot of time in patch panels and cleaning the paint and rust. Creating a new panel wil be more fun, results in a new panel and Provides a learning curve.@waiting for time that's way cool.
I’m using standard hardwood and a plywood base.Yeah, this thread just gets better and better! Can't wait to see how this works out. What type of wood are you using and what as a
I’m using standard hardwood and a plywood base.
The wood will be shaped to the ribs, not sure yet how to hammer the shape in, thinking of making a wooden hammer shape to slowly drive the steel into the template. After the first rib is made the first track works as a guide for the second one to be hammered in.
I just hope the wood is strong enough to last the entire panel.
Going to make a test piece first to see how much extra steel is needed for the ribs.
The Ewheel doesn’t work like that, what you are sugesting must be done with a bead roller.Is there anyway you might could use your English wheel to roll the low points in? Maybe load a narrow wooden template underneath the sheet, if you had a narrow top wheel maybe?
