Took me awhile to get the hang of soldering on my Studebaker. The grill alone took over a hour to solder together and I made a jig first. Glad I only have to do about 8 or 9 more solder joints and it will be back to machining again.
Would really like to see your work in person. Course I would probably just stare and drool over it.  I do a lot of that at the NAMES show each year. |
Those old guys really would frown on the drooling. Might rust a head bolt.
Why don't you come to York in January with some of us other guys and bring the Studebaker. Work in progress are always welcome. I want to look that truck over.
I have resistance power supply's up to 2500W I picked them up when they were cheap enough. I hope to find a use for them just need the proper jaws maybe.
