Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Thanks guys! First time at making some of these trim parts, real pleased with how they're turning out!


More progress, Mike installed the driver seat so we could mock up the lap belt for locating the lower escutcheon.











Then we contemplated vertical or parallel....











Remaining escutcheons were welded up...











Ideally the inner opening of the ring should rest on the midline of the sleeve. This provides for a good fusion weld and starts the formation of the radius we're looking for around the inside opening. Here's the various stages of welding the escutcheons:

Mike got the remaining openings cut in the arm rest and kick panels for the escutcheons...















Test fit...











…..and JB got started on the speaker trim rings for us...









The recess on the rear is for the stainless mesh...
