I was starting on it and decided to see if anyone would have an idea I had not thought of. It's turning out OK. I got some distortion when I welded it but nothing that I could not deal with.

Lovely job David,
No evidence of any joins anywhere
Did you use the Pullmax to put radius on the edges and did you have much distortion to deal with?

Another master-class, are you going to post up the 100 photos of the process lol. I need a new dash for the truck, food for thought.

Thanks David.

Really nice, and done so quickly, too. Will you spot well the original pieces back on?

Thank you guys. You are very kind. I did it like Ben described. It was my first idea I estimated forty hours and took less.
I am sorry but I no longer feel I can describe the process of how I do things.

David

Understand your reasons, it's good to share but it doesn't put food on the table pay the rent and £ per post makes no sense at all. Thank you for what you have given to the board and please keep in contact.

Best wishes especially at this time of year.

Tom
