Rust repairs

Bender

ive actullay got a roll over spit, but ive only bolted on the rear A-frame so the back end is in the air. So basically it's an A-frame bolted to the bumper mounts.

I had to use an engine hoist to get it high enough to sit on the frame though.

But back to work... well i didnt do much today except cut 4 of the 5 repair panels and bent the up.

The one on the right was really tricky to get to fit right, it looks abit battered, but its a good fit now lol

errr, not sure ive got enough metal!!

On a side note, i had to make a sheet meatl bender today as i havent got one. Took a while to put together, but it's fantastic!!

If anyone want plans to it, im sure it wont take me long to measure and draw one up!!

Hi Samt,

Id like to see how you made your bender.

Thanks

I think the picture below IS the bender Mike! A tongue in cheek statement from Sam.

Nice thread Sam. I'm doing similar to a Fords Puma at the minute. Thought I'd take something that is a more unlikely track car and see how far I can get with it. Reckon the rose joints are yours are worth more than my whole car at the minute though!

Looking better with every post.

I don't have a project thread up. I've been quite lucky and there has been no welding (so far!) and I think pics of me wire brushing and painting stuff might be a tad dull!
