Wow, awesome work as always Donovan!. Lots of nice little touches there too. The nutserts, the stainless button head screws, and the fuel cap holder. I like it!
Thanks Jeff. Adding those little touches after all that work is the icing on the cake so to speak. I really enjoy that part. It’s gratifying to see it all come together after the weeks of planning, measuring and fabrication.
Yet another instance of really great fabrication work that, for the most part, nobody will ever notice. That's a shame..... Nice work, Donovan! 👍
Appreciate it Mike, thank you. Once again, there’s that double edged sword, if done properly and well no one will be any the wiser, but it’ll likely go unnoticed for the most part. But if it’s poorly executed, well…
That's some fancy bead rolling you got there- very smooth stuff. I would've wasted multiple pieces trying to get that semicircle right. And you're right about the reverse lights looking better with no gap above them, that's a subtle yet appreciated mod. I've also got a lay down plate mount that needs installed, and now that I know there's room for a "cap hanger" back there I can stop putting it on my trunk!
Thanks, the bead rolling is a learned skill like any other. The more I do it however, the better I get but I’m not where I’d like to be just yet. Your feed rate, good lighting where the dies contact the metal, and the correct pressure all play critical roles in how the end result turns out.
The cap bracket was just a nice little convenience feature that I wanted to add after years of frustration owning G bodies.
You're almost good enough to come work on my junk. 😉
*almost.
😅
Noted, and I’ll keep that in mind should I ever feel the need.
Beautiful work Donovan. That must have been fun and gratifying to fabricate. Thanks for the update! It was a fun read.
Thank YOU Jared. It was indeed fun and challenging to build, and every step that turned out successfully was gratifying each time. I’m not quite done yet, there’s still a bit left to do, but it’s 95% there.
I’m glad you enjoyed the update.
Thanks for all the kind words, comments and support guys. As always it’s greatly appreciated.
