Some side work in the shop, we had made some wall mounts for a table top touch panel a year or so back and the Tech Rep for the company that made the touch panels had reached out to me recently as they needed some wall mounts for a bank job they were doing in New York. In order to better...

Prayers for a speedy recovery, Randy!

Chrysler 300?

Yes, this is Phenolic, comes in industrial or electrical grade. The electrical is used for circuit boards in electronics or for isolators in electrical busses. Neither one is cheap, but the industrial grade is a bit cheaper of the two.

Thanks for the comments and questions... I was priming the steering column as well, so what's a few more pieces when you already have to clean the spray gun. Had I not been doing that I would have taken them to a local shop for cerakote finish.

Some additional parts for painting, we had media blasted the door latch and tailgate latch pull rods, as well as the end clips. The rods didn't have much option for securing for paint, so we opted for some rare earth magnets screwed to the paint stand. We'd paint one side, let it flash, rotate...

Here's the pair when I picked them up back in 2019. A friend put them on marketplace and I was first to call.

Got two of them actually. Need to find another wall space for the second one.

The handle rests against the steering link in the middle. Where this is going is primarily flat, no hills, so brakes have not been discussed..

Here's the hidden fuel door in action, and why we needed the helicoils for adel clamps to hold the wiring in place....and away from moving parts. The back end is starting to look like a car again... ....and more work on the other wagon, here's the start of the pull handle... A...

Awesome fabrication skills, tidy details.. Thanks for sharing your projects!

Yes, there is some Ackerman angle built in. The rear uprights are made from 1/4" cold rolled bar stock, so I hope there isn't any deflection. 🤞

Wagon 2.0 progress, I was tasked with adding a paint job to this: but had a couple of issues to address first prior to paint. The dropped axle design lacked lateral strength of an I-beam, so we ordered some 1/8 x 1/2 flat bar to cap the top and bottom, adding much needed strength. Next...

Thanks fellas! More progress on the wagon. While reassembling the front end, Jared noticed the fenders were a bit high at the cowl. This next picture shows it, although the perspective makes it a bit exaggerated. So we pulled each of our new shims we had made and shaved another 1/16" off...

Was in reference to this door handle. You can see how it’s hard to make out in the picture. :)

As much as I tried, I couldn’t make out what you were using for door handles. Picture was a bit blurry. :ROFLMAO:

That’s what I always say, use those floor pans to practice **** welds so when you have to do someplace where it counts, you’re schooled up.

More progress, we were test fitting the power antenna an noticed that the mounting bezel did not sit horizontally on the fender. I had quickly whipped up a wedge shaped and tapered spacer out of some aluminum as a quick test. Where that was functional, it did not match the chrome finish...

Most will be 12/24 or 16/32. Mine drops 32 so my 248 in should be 212. Much better than 248.

They are all made in the same factory, just go down a different paint line. Everything I’ve heard is that 240v is too high for these machines. Regardless of what color they are. It would explain the cracks.
