WOW that is incredible work! I guess I don't know anything about metal after all!

I gotta start studying! I have never shaped metal, just beat it into submission!

If you don't watch out you just might finish it

I'm beginning to think I just might .

Thanks Danny and Mark !

Jim,
It looks pretty good from where I'm sitting too!

Looks like you're mostly using hand tools. How did you make the accent line?

[jlrussell4]

Hi Buddy,

How did you make the accent line?

I did it on my bead roller. I used the step rollers to do the outside line and my tipping wheel over a fairly soft wheel. I don't know what the material is as I picked it up at a surplus store.

I don't have a good picture of the setup, but I can do a tutorial later today if you want.

Thanks Ben. It looks worse in the pictures because I have been working to remove the ripples and dress the welded areas. I used a shrinking disc on some areas and as you know, it discolors the surface of the metal. I will wait until I finish welding the edge trim and the center pan before I sand and clean up the body.

I had a couple of hours this afternoon to work on the wagon trim. I got one side welded. I need to work it a little more to get it smoothed out, but I'm close .



Notice the Bugly Tools Intergalactic Division dolly in the background. Those welds almost planish themselves .

Looking good Jim. Will it be ready by the 25th?

It sure will Robert.




Of course, I don't know which 25th.
