Re: LFD something a bit different for you all!

Between passes 2 & 3 I had to use my shrinker to straighten out the edges before moving on.





Kind of a bad pic but it shows the last pass through the bead roller.



Then after about 2 minutes with a hammer and dolly to fine tune the edge it was ready for install.



Here is the finished product ready for final welding.

Here is a bonus pic of a small (1/2 scale) roadster pick up I am building for my son. This was built using a lot of the same process I just went through for the wheel tubs plus much more. It will have a bed, hood with sides and a tube chassis. I have not decided if it will be powered or not, we will see down the road.
