Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Thanks guys!
Hood side number two completed yesterday. The flanges of the tapered pan get some stretch treatment in the kick Erco to match the profile of the hood side..
For the questions about the cutting device, it is a long nose pneumatic cut off tool from Blue Point. For keeping the cut nice and perpendicular, and disc width, the long nose works better (for me anyhow) by having the long nose as a visual guide to keep it parallel to our centerline. I don't think I would have seen as good of results using the standard cut off tool.
Each slot has stop drill holes at the end, to help remove any cracking issue and also to better determine end of cut.
E helped out with the punching efforts...…
Panel gets tacked in and welded with the TIG...
