Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Time to play catch up here..
Vince got two of the milk cans media blasted and worked on the third while I sprayed some SPI epoxy primer on the first two.
Also got some epoxy on the hood brace...
Ends are quite a bit better than before..
I received a state of the art drawing the other day, and was asked if we could duplicate the 1/16 offset shown...
Of course this meant we needed some new tooling..
Our first sample, with the proper 3/4 flange...
We had another panel that would require the offset on two adjacent edges, so one more sample...

That'll do pig, that'll do.
Some of the upholstery parts have been trickling in... so let's add some bling factor....
….and we made a hand punch for setting the trim tag rivets on the cowl...

And finally, we also had some 3/8 stainless fuel line to straighten out of it's coil for a big block mopar… Video parts 1, 2, and 3:
