OK so more progress. The little nose piece turned out to be simpler to make than expected. The second picture is the fitup, it sets in place pretty nicely. I'm holding the center flare since it's distorted, but the fit it good.
The last pictures are of the flare finished, all tig welded, ground, and then DA'd reasonably smooth.
This is a bit of a rush low budget deal, so I'm going to try powder coating these gloss black and see how they turn out. Unless someone tells me they will distort real bad with the oven temps??
They have been great practice for me and I'm finding I can "visualize" a little better what needs to happen now. A long way to go though for sure.
This also brings me to current. I'll update as I continue working on the other side and eventually powder coat. Thanks for looking
