I am very envious of your work......Did you anneal the aluminum with a torch?

I always wanted to try explosion forming...lol....my tig welding is also very poor...sometimes it looks OK and sometimes its all black.....

I did use a wood form to change the curve on my fender flairs that I have been working on slowly....but only the end of a 2x4....


One of the local hobby shops claims they have the ability to scan to make a file that controls their CNC wood carver.
I am thinking about having that done so I can make some final adjustments to my metal flairs.

spl310 thanks for your comment.

thanks also to notoptoy, if you feel it needs to be in a new thread that is fine by me.

Phil, I did sometimes use a torch to anneal and sometimes I would take the hotplates off my BBQ and sit the aluminium just over the rows of burners to get a more even approach.

Explosion forming sounds like fun, if not a little dangerous, you could really scare the snot out of a piece of metal.

Your metal flares look really cool.

Its an outdoor activity!!!.......Need some 25 mm plate to make a box and losely chain the lid down. You want the lid to be able to relieve the pressure without flying off. I have been told you can use propane.

Sounds great Phil.....when you get it working can you post a video?

absolutely very impressive metal(and wood) work!

It lives!!!
Todd sent me some videos of the roadster running an auto-x. He is now in the tuning phase, enjoy the VQ roar!

Sounds so mean. Good thing it has the tires to go with it. I like that hood mod better than the others I've seen.

Are you kidding me?

Wow..

Wow....Wow, Wow!

That sounds amazing...love the power slide, very envious.

Awesome car.



Rob

That sounds Soooooooo good!!

So am I seeing that right? Are the air intakes in the headlight holes?

That just looks mean..
