lee, what i really like about your approach to things is the "old school" methods you use to fab things like you just showed. no "finger brakes" or other "tools of the trade", just items laying around the shop, turning them into "tools i need for the job at hand". same thing applied to your steering wheel fabrication pics. i try to do the same thing, as i can't afford some of the specialty tools. one tool i wished i had [and AFTER the job was done acquired one in a disassembled, assumed to be junk condition] was a slip roll. bending a transmission tunnel out of 16ga. sheet for my humpback was a real, um... job[?] bending around gas bottles and 12 1/2" to 4 1/2" steel pipe using muscle, clamps[lots & lots of those], and a little heat. it turned out great, but what a deal ! keep up the great work, and post progress pics if you got 'em !
