The sheet metal stuff will be cool , I have 3 trucks to rebuild . A punch and flange would be nice but I think I can get the single conture body panel repairs with the brake . Dad was a plumber/pipe fitter , but in the early 70's he built a set of birch cabinets for his first house with 100% mitered courners top , bottom , and ends with basically invisible seams . Later on we got A&Ps and did sheet metal work to a point that I don't care if I ever punch another rivet ......there are 985 on the outboard top skin of model 33,35,50,55&56 Beechs and 1086 I think on the inboard panel . I don't think there's that many in the whole wing of a of a Cherokee maybe in the Comanche . The in house flush patch and gap fill panels for slicking up a 250 Comanche cowl to look like a 260 was fun I enjoyed doing the same with the AT-6s on the hinge cutouts and tail wheel panels . I might chase a Bonniville sled in some obscure class now ...... Long ago I had some some crash cage and frame drawings maybe I'll stumble over 23 stud AB with a set of Offy wet Al heads ..... Maybe a 231 Buike , 5 speed and tunnel ram air with thrust inducing exhaust is more attainable . Probably should start with a wrecked 1.8 Gold Wing and a 4130 thin wall cage . Sort of a baby Blue Flame . Yeah , but Old Yeller and Penny first , and the hauler . Anybody got a 99'-06' crew cab F250 laying around with a scattered engine maybe just a cab , front clip , and frame with a title laying around taking up space ? I've a whole 11/99 F250 with a smoked cab , frame , and , bed fitted with an 80,000 mile chipped , intake/exhaust kitted tubo 7.3 and a 6 speed .
