Doors are getting the interior black tomorrow

We painted the front marker light housings since there’s zero chrome or brightwork on the car and it’ll better match the rears.

Of course lol

It looks great! Nice work!

Fenders, front marker light housings, and rear triangles got painted today.

Unfinished Front End Friday…

I made a poster board template for the first half and then cut out a scallop style mounting bracket. I’ll drill holes, add nutserts, then weld into place and repeat for the other half.

Starting to lay mine out. Mine will be an aluminum panel with carbon fiber bonded to it. Borrowed a laser line generator to make it easier.

Mine are that way in the green car. McCamis makes that kit and CJ has a version as well. I thought I’d try this one. I still have a long way to go before making a pass in it but yeah, I’m eager lol

We weighed it the other day. The right and left are backwards as we had the scales on the wrong sides. Still no doors, fenders, hood or nose and obviously the driveline and turbos so it’s gonna get a lot heavier.

It has a spring loaded release at the top front and the front bar folds in dropping the net. There’s a handle that clips into the release so it’s easily grabbed with gloves on.

Welded up the Cameron Johnson Race Cars window net kit. This tedious little project took most of the day. I went with a vertical kit and bent the bars so they hold the net out of the way. Now to get a net from Stroud.

Yes, I bought a new Lincoln 3350 helmet that was a huge improvement. I’ve heard the Optrel is really nice but have yet to try one.

Exactly my issue. I need lots of back lighting and even then, they don’t adjust quickly when the arc initiates and don’t seem to want to adjust with changes in distance.

Thank you sir!!

Yes. I have some laser welded chromoly samples. It’s nearly 100% penetration on .083 wall chromoly. The handheld laser torch is very cumbersome to use on tubing. Until they get smaller, like a TIG torch, they’re not practical for cage work. They’re great for nearly everything else that’s thin wall.

My body has been rode hard and put away wet for most of my existence. I’m just now feeling the effects of that… my knees are toast.

coming up on 60 and I’ve noticed the decline for the last 5 years…

Can’t imagine being without one after having it for all these years
