great work again mate
Ha ha just downloaded that show, I have to say a lot of complaining in it, but what a great result in the end.
Although I have a similar timeline and budget I don't expect anything like it, I'm just happy to have it running
Great work again Joe
Very informative and, more importantly, very inspiring and motivational.
Can't stay and chat... time to start taking those small steps.
nice job stitch welding is awesome fun For the copper trick i use about a foot long copper tube with the end flattened out and put a curve in the whole piece to get to hard to reach sections , leaving it long lets u weld longer as it gets fkn hot . Have you tried the 100mm strip discs that go in the drill sort of like a mesh disc , strips everything including rust and does it quick
What Frankencab is talking about is a 3M clean and strip wheel AKA spaghetti wheel or a burnt crumpet.
Great in a drill no good in angle grinder as they do tend to explode. Panel edges do tend to destroy them quick but if used sensibly will do a great job
Keep going Joe.
I'm blown away as usual.
I did wonder if you'd use the old brass trick.
I've heard about it done to fill holes in dashes and other panels.
nice joe, you make it look so easy, and for a fellow beginner like myself...its handy (to watch), but annoying (cause i cant do it)
anyway, i was wondering if you could be so kind as to tell me where you got that siv thing for your sand for the sand blaster? cause that would be super.
keep up the good work, and with any sort of luck i might catch you if i can get someone else to do my welding
Brilliant stuff! Your idea of putting a smaller 'sleeve' inside the top hat is new to me, so I am learning things from you!
I love how you take the time and spot weld long pieces together so there's no heat and the nozzle in hand is right on!! Great progress! It's the small steps that pay off. The attention to detail you have and the actual great quality of work that is resulting is ALOT better than some the work of some pro VW builders!
On outriggers, I usually stitch weld with alot of heat on sides that are not visible and plug weld with alot of heat/wire on the visible sides.
Nice work Joe..
Dont forget your friend ..Mr Magnet.., when trying to retrieve lost metal pieces inside cavities...You can buy a small magnet on a telescopic stalk which Ive found very handy..
Cheers
Wanted..Barny bits or 60's Supercharger other than Judson
