Hi Russ,thank you for the comments .I only use 18g (1.0mm) Although it harder to shape its better for me to hammer and file also a little easier for butt welding with gas .Seriously impressive stuff!
What gauge steel are you working with for most of that. 1.0mm or 1.2?
Hi mate,I have the usual 350 / 350 combo but fingers crossed I might be getting an engine built for me in the states through a mates cousin who builds engines for a living.I really like old Americana, what motor do you have in mind for it?
Hi mate ,shame about your father in laws truck.My truck will be 2wd ,i think i've made it complicated enough already !!!!!. Cheers.Good combo, father in law had the same in his 79 chevy 1/2 ton (which met its end picking an argument with a snowplow (arctic lorry sized snowplow)
even overloaded with shingles in the bed it had plenty of power and acceleration. Going 2WD or 4WD?
Thank you very much .I will post a few more pics very soon.sculpture, pure sculpture....
