No real news, still smoothing out the axle (takes forever). I had to switch gears for an evening, so I made the end caps last night out of plate steel. After I get a gasket for the center section, I can use it as a template to make a plate for that hole as well.

Still not sure what the best material is to create gaskets for this while its being plated. Wonder if the acid would eat through cork?

Looks good! Maybe Teflon would be a good gasket material?

Go up to the truck stop by you and buy one of the plastic type truck mud flaps and cut it out of that. It would be great for a seal and the acid is in plastic tanks (from what I saw at the chrome zinc plating places I have worked in) so you don't have to worry about it getting ate up. You will find many uses for the rest of the $9.00 flap.lol

Spent the weekend in the garage.


Got the correct gasket and used it as a template.

I got tired of cleaning the whole garage every time I blasted, so I made a "blasting sheild" (worked great kept the beach on one side).

***Sneak-a-Peak***

I don't think words can describe how happy I am. I have been Re-energized for this build.

I laid off the body work for a while because I wanted to make sure the body lines I spent a lot of time on are super straight. In September Matchstick Vanner-Expressed a door that he made for me to our Event. I finally got someone over to help me man handle it around and do an initial test fit.

I'm totally totally stoked. No Windows, No panel seams, No handles, or Hinges! SMOOOOOOTH!


Check it out!
