GU rear Half bars / quarter chop

[threedogs]

What area you from???

[threedogs]

After you cut rear how are you finishing it or just leaving straight?

Threedogs, didn't want to fill in with checker plate and recess some LED lights?

was thinking that but bloody hell this was enough work as it is, plus they were bloody heavy enough already.

Oh yeah and those pipe benders rock, halfway through making up some brush bars and got a roll cage planned for my 383ci Volvo haha

Quarters gone, took some mucking around to get that off with my pissy 115mm grinder.

You know dummy lights are illegal don't you, they are for overseas models with no wheel on door, hope this doesn't bust ya bubble. Can get slimline LED to suit I would think

Cleaned up the inside sections so I could fit a plate inside rather than over to make welding it one easier.

Not the cleanest cut but the mig fixes the gaps

Looks like a lot of work but those FLAP DISC are heaven sent for finishing steel, lots of cutting, bending and checking for sure Mate

Marked out the section by covering it with a bit of paper, which I marked, cut out and used as a template. Then used my newly purchased plasma cutter to cut out the plate. Plasma cutters rock!!!

Threedogs,

Yeah the flap discs sure got a work out, your not wrong all the bending, cutting, welding, grinding and painting. Fark me a lot more work than I was expecting. bet the neighbors love me now. I was almost thinking all the time I put into this woulda been better off buying something. It was my first fabrication project though and I was learning how to use all mu new fancy tools, nothing quite like being able to make something up yourself and getting a decent result.

Plate welded in place. I'm an amateur welder at best and this was my first real project. I only had 4mm plate to work with. tell you what, welding 4mm plate to 1mm body panels upside down is a fair challenge.
