Re: GRIZZ’s ‘79 - 2WD BLAZER Challenge over in London, England. “~It’s not a Project

Christmas Eve Day.

Good time as any to start with the smallest Cut and Weld job identified so far.

I will be over describing for many of you.
But if like me, you have not done this before it may be helpful or not?

So off to the “caraworkshop”

Move tools into the “shed” and find some donor steel.

Built this 100kg plus mobile work station in 2015. So moved it closer.

Used it a few times since.



Straight in with my trusty cardboard template and scissors

Donor steel. 1965 C10 cab.

As @PaulY said, if I use enough off this one I may need to add a new V5c registration document



Piece is bigger than just the holes. Loads of old dents to cut out as well.



First fold to 90’ then back to lay the base crease.
Followed by opposite bend to complete the peak.



Top and bottom curves added, they do differ a lot.






Next up would be tracing the replacement panel onto the front panel



Followed by cutting the bad metal out.

Coffee break first.
