Best place for those Andrews Radomes is in the trailer on the way to the dump.. Company I used to work for had to swap out about 600 of the fibreglass ones for the spun aluminium ones after they realised the fibreglass was delaminating after two Australian summers of UV. Being one of only a...

Cross cut a carbide blade, lengthwise, score it using a straight edge and a carbide tipped scoring tool that you use for fibre cement sheet and snap it.

A cheap vice mount slip roll or ring roller and you can make your own

Investing in a couple of uni joints and getting rid of the offset would be a good start

Old school big wings and tyres! You have certainly gotten to play with some cool stuff over the years Claude. If you do Facebook and like old school open wheels with big tyres and wings go have a look at the Australian Formula 5000 page.

Overthinking it, pretty much anything will work. Find some pipe that fits and weld it on.

I got lazy and bought one of these.. I had the MIG on a tilted trolley before this, I sold that with the smaller MIG I offloaded recently. Makes not a rats of difference in my opinion.

Decided to abandon this in its present form, the make it from what I have laying around has presented a couple of minor challenges I can’t be bothered putting the labour into solving nor is it really doing it for me aesthetic wise.. Back to the 3D modelling.

:lol: having only gotten the VW back from the panel shop a couple of weeks ago it’s fair to say that the lessons from that have been learnt...

Got a bit done today while she who must be obeyed was sleeping off a mates birthday last night.. suffice to say the other half and sambucca shots don’t really mix :lol: Took a bit to get the top finish welded, and in a couple of spots it’s not really to the normal quality I like to turn out...

I like the way you put that. You went out to putter, and built a cab.... :lol: I like it, looks OEM

My 1200 Vee had to be minimum 420kg with fuel and driver on board.

That may be the case here too, not sure. I’ve had that bit sitting around for a bit.

50x25 tapered web. There’s a section of that under both ends where it bolts down.

The no idea what it is but looks cool is a circle cutter for cutting discs out of sheet metal

Like most modern cars the grill and bumper is mostly plastic so a punch and flare won’t work. As above, you’ll need a bar off the front or a bumper with fog light inserts from factory if available.

The general plan is to take a two door, three drawer roll cab and build it into the stand. I figure the the larger door section will be good for housing the chucks and steadies etc, and and if my memory serves me correctly it has a small section of peg board built into each door so I think I...

Been doing a bit of rearrangement and and consolidation recently. Sold off my smaller bench top lathe and decided to finally get off my backside and get the Hercus 9” lathe I bought through a mate onto a more user friendly space efficient stand. The original stand is old school period correct...

600hp, near slick tyres in January and the hottest woman I’ve ever touched in the passenger seat... Dammit, now I want a GTO :lol:

I like this. My first trip to the states some years ago chasing a young lady from CO saw me in the very fortunate position of having her brother loan me his for a day to take her out. Sooooooo much fun!
