Well its back to the plan. Since I needed to make a few end panels the same shape for the door frames I decided to make a jig out 8mm flat bar. I used 1.2 mm steel for the entire inner frame work/panels. The only job left is to weld the frame to the cross members.

Now please do not take this the wrong way, but this thread, whilst interesting in its own way, is a little like "Shed builder" meets "British Leyland", or is that an unfortunate comparison, whatever, I'm sure y'all know what I mean!  , and if not, the range of kit available on this build, plus of course the abilities of the builder, are over and above your "average" forum member. Now you might think, 'So what', in which case I have obviously not clarified...well, I'll exit stage left then......  ..Morrag |

I know what you mean Morrag. I think there is most definitely a place for this type of build though.
I consider myself reasonably skilled but I could not consider a build like this.
I can still learn and ask questions, critique and steal/borrow ideas.
The home built English Wheel for instance. Great idea well executed.
We all need to be able to aspire towards those who have more skill, better kit, better/different imagination and build methods.
I don't build or restore cars, I am into bikes. The older the better. I am still inspired and very impressed by the car builders as construction methods are usually transferable.

Plus health issues..but I hope he cracks on with it..  |

Variety is the spice girl of life I think someone once said. Nope, like a 5 year old watching a proffesional artist at work, I haven't got a hope in hell of reaching this level, but I can appreciate the skills that are going into it & as Mr Slam said, learn a little along the way & file away info for future use. I think it's fascinating to watch. Keep posting please Andy!  |

Well I don't build anything but I still find it fascinating! Partly because it's so different from most of what we see on here.
