Re: '63 Model B

Thanks for the interest. Been busy with paying jobs and haven't made as much progress as I'd like, but I have been working on some of the less glamorous (is ANY of it really?) parts of the project. Started shaping the bed sides and I'll try and get some pictures up later.

Re: '63 Model B

I finally have had some time to work on this pos and spent even more time researching how to use the photobucket app.
I don't know how interesting they are but I took quite a few pictures of the rear fender in progress. While not too complex, these fenders are so large and awkward I decided to make them in 4 pieces.
Step 1; cutting out and marking the blank for shrinking

Using the arbor press with thumbnail dies I made I start a round of shrinks using the grid that's laid out.

This is what it looks like as it starts to take shape

With some wheeling and wrestling with it the shape starts to look like intended

Comparison of two pieces, one with shrinks only and one shrunk and wheeled.

Re: '63 Model B

More pics-
Two pieces become one

Close up of weld joint

Folding the edge. Done with a small crescent wrench. I just open the jaws as much as necessary to easily slip onto the metal,figure out the depth I want, and wrap some tape around the jaws at that depth and bend a few degrees per pass. Takes 4 or 5 passes for a 90 degree bend.

Adding the other pieces. Here you can see the weld seams.

Thank you sir! Video? No, I don't have anything. Most of the time I fly right through without taking pictures but that's the good thing about this (personal project as opposed to work for a client) taking as long as it has taken. Parts sit for awhile between progress so I take pics. I've taken a bunch of the steps taken to build the bed sides/rails but I have yet to figure out how to upload those.
More importantly, thank you for your service!

Ha! If that's the prize I'm gonna need to rethink MY aspirations.
You're just down the road from here, what 3 hours? Stop by any time. I've got lots of junk to practice on.

Thank you, I have looked at that site. The small number of examples of this particular truck was a big reason I decided to post this one.
