[QUOTE="riverrat174, post: 326318, member: 11722"] Got all metal cut for my pods. I am banging away, bending my radius on the right side pod. Not fun. Should have got thinner sheet. This is the front view. The over hang is what I left on for the bend. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376667393.744411.jpg"]56108._xfImport[/ATTACH] Top view. It's not lined up real well, because tape doesn't hold sheet very tightly. Really, it came out pretty good. I had to dress up my cuts with the grinder, but nothing horrifying. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376667445.895491.jpg"]56109._xfImport[/ATTACH] Side view. [ATTACH type="full" alt="ImageUploadedByTapatalk1376667555.445610.jpg"]56110._xfImport[/ATTACH] I'll post more pics of the bending process. I got a blister already, cause apparently, weight training does not a working mans hands make. Being an office jocky has its bennies, but downfalls as well. This is just for fun. The car belongs to my sons 16yr old buddy. He came out of the late movie last night to find this sad sack passed out on his car hood. Drive the car right out from underneath him, cause he couldn't wake him. I wish he would have taken video of this chap torpedoing into the asphalt!!!!! Ahhhh, the oil boom.
