  2. I find it amazing how your able to cut, grind, push, pull, tack, grind more, then weld again, grind again, sand & sand and come up with a real piece of ARTWORK here!
    You make it look easy...............
    Thanks for shraing.

  8. Ok.Here´s some new updates.Have the roof and doors all welded up and welds are smoothed,Still have to make a new skinn to fill the insert and will make it during the hollidays. I don´t have an english wheel my self so I will have to bring it over to a friend to have it done.Even got a new spring installed in front and it came down about 3 more inches and now she have the stance I was looking for. I just had to make a quick mock up with fenders and running board to get an over all wiev and to see the proportions better.Think I´m pleased with it as it is.

    I've noticed you using a large adjustable wrench for bending some of the flanges,I do a similar method using Glaziers pliers.

    I really like the stance you've achieved and the chop is niiiiice !!

    Keep up the great work :)

  23. Thanks Kipp.I think this was a little bit easier than yours.Didn´t have to cut her up like a jig saw puzzle like you did.

    Thanks.

    Thanks a lot. About that door it´s not finnished yet but the gap is smaller further down.. There was so much job with it so I just freaked out and left it for a while,will go back at it when I´ve got some new inspiration. That is a really nice plier you have there, looking for similar ones over here but they´re not easy to find. A friend have two of them but he will not part from any one.I have one that´s wider and when folding long straight edges it works but when the fold curves it´s too wide.Think I will have to keep looking.Thanks for the input.

    Very nice work Kenneth! Proud to be swedish when I see your work :) I'm interested in getting my hands on a pullmax. What machine should I look for? Like the idea to put it on wheels for small spaces? God jul på dig!


    Kind regards!
