That's some beautiful fab work on that truck cab! Is that entirely aluminum as well? & great work on the carriage body! John
That truck cab is a beaut! My shop elves are drooling over it, and muttering something about putting a big block in a Lombard frame with that cab...
Wow, that is looking slick, Thomas! Dunno...I kinda like the bare Aluminum too...maybe do some jeweling down the side and leave it bare? Either way, it's really coming together, keep up the good work!
That's some excellent aluminium fabrication It puts my little buggy (being used by my daughter as an invalid carriage here) to shame
Now I know what the proper name is for Panel Pins, Cleco fasteners.I had run into them in the boat building industry and the air craft industry, but they were always referred to as Panel Pins or Alignment Pins. The last time I seen them in person was at a tour of an aircraft manufacturer in Malton Ontario. We were there for interviews for CNC programmer/operators and they gave us the whole nine mile tour, including the wing and body assembly's. One of the wings was brisling like a porcupine with panel pins, one of the other applicants said that he would hate to be the guy that had to grind them all down. The rest of us who knew what the pins were for or who had figured it out didn't enlighten him, just hopping he would ask one of the supervisors giving the tour (there were 20 of us on the tour and only 12 jobs open).Gerald.
Hello Roger,Your little "Jeepster" is really neat looking. There is a company here state side that is producing an all aluminum Jeep body that bolts directly on an original frame. Thank you and have a great day,Thomas
Wow, that's really coming together great! Thanks for the details of the rivets, never seen that before.
Great work! It's gonna be a killer
