Except the part in the first post where he compares Land Cruisers to Fords!
Eh, a truck is a truck. It's what you do to the truck that makes it fun to own and drive.
Hey Matt, looking good. I spent part of my morning under a 60 body wearing a rain coat
Thanks Stan. I secretly love the cleaning process. It's a form of archaeology and always fun to discover what lies beneath.
Great stuff, Keep it up.
Can you explain your process for marking the mandrel bend cut angle a little bit more?
Thanks Brennan. The process for me is not much of a process at all. I do a lot of eyeballing and then take a few measurements. Transferring the angles to the mandrel bend is done on my work table with a large "square" I made from angle iron, which is clamped to the table. I mark the angle on the table with sharpie and then transfer the angle to the tubing for cutting. I don't do a lot of preparation for this. I just see it in my head and then chisel away everything that doesn't look like an exhaust.
If you've ever played pool, you will understand this analogy. You don't get out a protractor and tape measure to figure out how to get the 9 ball in the side pocket. You just know where to hit it.
Thanks to everyone else. You don't all need to win the lottery, just take out a second on your house...!
