Re:
rbray,
you must have a lot of patience and focus. Some of the cuts and angle bends from the head/side of the tunnel to the foot boxes must have been fun. Boy, it makes me want to go buy a shear, bender, and an English wheel. Or maybe not and I'll just go beat a ball-peen hammer into a Pepsi can or something..and just enjoy your picutures instead. Nice work! :) |
Brent,
I'm using the same tools to cut curves that you are .. I agree it's a pain! When you find a better way let me know. |
RB and Brent,
I have found a set of metal shears that cuts like a breeze through 18 gauge. They will cut out a circle as small as a dime. These have got to be the best metal shears out there. You can clamp a guide on to the metal you want to cut and it will cut it straight with a nice edge. I used it a bunch on the stainless steel panels on the GT40. Makita also makes them and one other company that I can't remember their name. They have them at Lowes and Home depot. Better yet buy on the internet and pay no taxes.

Man, that interior makes me drul... I love the look, good work
Roger, do you have the 30".. I use that one at work and it does a good job.. I think Northern tool makes a 42 " |
That really is great work and something to be proud of.
What kind of amphetamines were you taking? Roscoe |
BT: Looks like a great too. It is going on my wish list. Thanks for the tip.
Al: I have the 30" , but the 42" would be much better. I didn't know they made a combination machine that wide. Oh well live and learn. Roscoe: Just diet Pepsi. |
Y'all need to be aware of Lowbuck Tools. Hokie name but the real deal for this kind of stuff.
