Re: Hoarder Special!
I agree 100% Reg. The copper and aluminum work really well together and looks wicked! But what are you gonna do about the scars in the cab roof?

Oh, and are you suggesting that I put a driven front axle in this? The thought had crossed my mind but I don't want to spend the money for an axle.lol |

Re: Hoarder Special!
Always a big fan of your ally work Reg! I think you've got a great eye for the detail and then using wafer thin ally (and copper!) to catch the look with such a good fettle and finish is very skillful..... top work in my book (again)

Re: Hoarder Special!
Thanks very much Glenn. I think I have nearly addressed what Mario was referring to and it looks much better. I needed to sand that crud off but I was leery to do it because I couldn't remember how bad my metal work was underneath. Apparently it wasn't too bad as I was able to sand off almost all of the JB weld without finding any major imperfections in the metal. Once I had things looking close I tried making up a copper visor.

Remember how much fun the 850 axles were Reg? .....oh, wait a minute. You DO remember, that's why you haven't made one already. The scars are gone! Not sure what you were covering up in the first place? Question: can you clear coat this to preserve the nice clean look? I know it's not humid in your neck of the woods but that copper is going to be tough to keep clean and shiny? |
