Re: "Star Brand" Replica Retro Fuel Pump Build.

Been a long week with head office meetings etc.
Busy Busy Busy.

Makes you feel a bit boxed in.



Tonight I got in, cut the grass and then went to the garage to start on this replica pump again.

Got about an hour in.

Re-measured the new front corners, cut all, and ground the edges with a flap-disk so that I can weld in the morning.

I once had the large grinder out at 07.30 working some heavy steel without knowing it was so early...... Nicola was not impressed.

Toe-teckters were at the ready when cutting the corners in preparation for the welding.



One side cut and ready.



Originally planned to do the bottom square, but as I had some curved material left over after making the top section, I decided to make a section for the bottom as well.




I have now prepped all the sides and as I am usually up at stupid-o-clock, it means I can weld early morning, and then cut down the top of the box when the world has woken up.

Still need to find some pits to make it all come together.
