Last time i wrote i was halfway through the front section. I was back at the garage today and was determined to finish it off.
I made another template and cut it out. Then shaped it and tacked it in place.
Then i made the other angle bit to fill in the last space.
Everything all tacked up and ready to weld.
Everything all welded up. It never looks pretty just welded eh.
I had to make two small dished areas that sit infront of where the sun visors go. Its to make access for the mechanism that sits inside the channel. I just cut 2 rectangles out and bashed them until they dished then welded them in place.
That looks prettier. This front part of the roof channel was the most challenging for me to do so far. I was really worried i would distort the structure of it. I was also worrying too much about trying to make everything perfect, sometimes you have to just grow a set and actually get on with the job rather than procrastinating and getting frustrated with your self.
FEET!
I feel like i have something i can check of my list now
- Fix upper roof channel , Done!
Tune in next time where I will mostly be trying to figure out how i will make and attach the gutter.
ps, Consul is on Ebay :(
