Another couple hours on the fender and I will start chopping up the hood.

That 3rd did get a little close to the fender, how much body flex do you get .

None that I know of, but I am going to rebuild the crappy front bumper and may move it forward a couple inches as well as sinking the winch down behind the bumper.

This will need to be done anyway when I do the links and 42's.

[Willy Mammoth]

OK the hood has been masacered

[Lady Di]

That would not be the Lantherian way, old body men never die they just stretch their hoods.

Is it really snowing in FL already!??

[Willy Mammoth]

Is it really snowing in FL already!??

Only in my garage and lungs. :hack:

[Willy Mammoth]

I decided it would be easier to split the front of the hood apart and narrow it to follow the same taper than try to fudg it.

Fudge? We have fudge?

[Willy Mammoth]

I got the angles extended and the front of the hood welded together, that's it for tonight. It is going to be fun welding in the middle without warping the crap out of the hood.

may be a stupid question, but what're those little brass(?) things on the lower edge of the hood?

[KDXSR5]

I was wondering that as well.

I was wondering that as well.

Yea yea me too....

[DTB]

magnetic clamps?

[TheTransporter]

they are called kleeckos or something like that. basically a temporary rivet

[Willy Mammoth]

Not a stupid question at all, these are clekos. They are used in aircraft and custom auto construction.

They are temporary fasteners so you can position your panel and remove it for trimming or other purposes until you are ready to attach it permanently.

[KDXSR5]

Oh, nifty!

[Willy Mammoth]

Ok, I got both sides fitted and tack welded. That is all for tonight.

[Willy Mammoth]

Time is something I don't have enough of. Gotta make the best of what you have.

[TheTransporter]

[Willy Mammoth]

a little slow on the sertch i am

Yea, and they used to say I was slow too. I just liked to day dream, nothing they were teaching in school was interesting enough to keep my attention, except for this one teacher, but that is another story.   

[TheTransporter]

i had that problem also, except for the teacher part.

[DTB]

[BoG-ToY]

I wish I had a teacher like that....but nah, well, kinda, but then she married my uncles brother...so that would be freaky
