Stupid me, totally spaced n the alum body.

Ha! That’s okay. It must look authentic. It is surprisingly strong.

I’ve been super impressed with my Aqualu tub. Paint still rubs off, but the metal is holding up well. Of course I just cursed myself…

What do you mean about the paint rubbing off?

Hi all. I am needing some rocker switches so I can fab a plate to fix the hack job that I did to install a CD player in the dash when I was 16. I swear that I must have used tin snips and a hammer to install the radio.

I would like professional-looking switch like I found from the following company in Australia but I would like to find these in the US to keep the costs down. Does anyone have any sources?

Sorry just being coy. Rock rash is probably a better way to explain the situation. My point was the aluminum tubs are tough.

One rear fender is roughed in and I am out of tube.

 

[peesalot]

Just an idea, fill that tube back in and make door swing up or sideways.

Come on over.

Right, looking great, I was thinking, " How did he weld alum skin to that bar ???? Took me a minute.

 

[Mike Shull]

Ha! Yes, it does look like aluminum when it’s sanded. I like your idea but I’m trying to get it ready for paint quickly so that I can put it back together.

I like the small notch for the fuel door!

Here are a few more pictures with the notch filled in.

All 4 fenders are roughed in! Next? I have no idea. Too many things.

Looks good. I been thinking about some type of rear fenders for my build.
