Looking Good , Zach
Looks good Zach , In the earlier photos i didnt see any welding stands do you have them and just didn't use them or do you need to build some ? I build trailers and speciality equipment , and have a set of plans for welding stands if you would like to look at them . Dan

This project is really looking great. I was wondering what kind of brake you are useing to form youre sheet metal ? Particularly the peice over the guages with the radius bends. I see a line down the center of it . Is it in 2 peices or is that a pencil line ? ( I'm refering to the last picture)

Thanks burninbriar,
for the tight radius bends i used my generic sheetmetal brake i think its called a "bendito" or something cheap like that. For the gauge cluster i actually just clamped a piece of 4" pipe to the sheetmetal and rolled it over the pipe. The line was a sharpie so i could keep the centerline the seperation of the 2 bends consinstant.AIM: Zachary188

That guage cluster looks really nice for doing it by hand. Do you arm wrestle ???
