Had a piece of 14 gauge cold sheet, so I did some cardboard templated and started cutting and bending n the finger brake, came up with this little guy.. Hard to believe how many hours I got into this box 
Slow day at work

That will look nice with some PC or paint. Anytime a guy can get paid to work on his own truck.... its a good day!

Yep long time no see.......fuggered up my shoulder, can barely lift a cup of coffee..
Im kinda of a anti PC guy, did it years ago on a couple restorations and disliked it, looks pretty until you have to drill, grind or something along those lines... And yes the owner boss is ubber cool guy...
Been mucking about with the aluminum spool gun, big and clumsy but once you got it, its not to shabby.. really hard to do the thin stuff, need to learn the mig stuff...
Still working on that guy for that thing we talked about, really hard to get ahold and nail down for a viewing..

Agreed... PC is hit or miss. I'd consider it for an interior piece though.....I PC'd my old aluminum centre console and it was great.
Thanks for keeping up the hard investigative work!

The idea behind the console is I think there is nothing out there for the 79 ti 84...
Might sit down with Andre takes some measurements refine improve and snowball some ideas and then gauge the need for these units.. Andre told me he can even have the water jet mark the metal were it needs to be broke...
On another note, the boys at NWF have there Black box adapters for h55s, h42s and I think they are currently going after the 80 series doubler..
Little cruiser build at NWF, rockwells..rear steer.. Skid plate slash link mount is half in plate
