Default Re: My Stretched globeliner

Well Since the wife put a temp freeze on part ordering for a few weeks i took some brass that i had laying around and decided to try a few things. Im quite impressed with what i came up with so far. I decided to try making some air cleaners with what i have around the house and here is what i did.
Started with 3/4 copper plumbing and a thin sheet of brass



Rounded the sheet brass out and limiting the solder lines



Took some brass tubing and Chair leg bottom. and came up with this




Used some double sided tape (for mock up only will be soldered on)






I just need to make or find something to cap off the bottoms, and solder them on. Since the rack and aircleaners are going to be painted I decided this route as i couldn't cover Russ's sweet work with paint... There are so many thing i still need to do. Including new front bumper, rear bumper, more cab lights, side lights, new stacks (taller and angle cut) fenders, paint, and poss a longer frame still.... hmmm there still may be more then that yet to do... hope you like the update.
