Hopefully here are the photos that I promised. The first one is vehicle as it arrived off an American aircraft carrier!!! Second pic is in it's first road legal state as a display vehicle at a local steam rally. Third pic is how far I got with rebuild 5 years ago. Not touched since due to the wife and my health problems.
Making good progress there, Thomas!So, what's the trade-offs between plasma vs. water-jet cutting? Why might one prefer one over the other? I know nothing about these things.Kim
That's too bad, Thomas Looks like they may need to sharpen their plasma cutter! What causes the difference? The plasma heats it up and melts things making them less precise because it flows a little?Kim
The plasma cut piece looks, to me, like a piece that would have a piece of tubing run through it and welded. If my assumption is correct, I'm wondering just how close of a fit it needs. There may be more to this than what I'm seeing. I'm enjoying this build thread. Jim
Quite good progress! I keep forgetting its full size, keep expecting to see the frame clamped in the mill.
