In this video you will see that I have the frame sections and components ready for assembly. There are a number of challenges and a few changes were made and reconsidered.
If it doesn’t line up it won’t be anybodys fault because there’s so many forces with heat and welding. I can’t wait to see the finnished item because it’s looking good already.
I worry the checker plate will flex quite a bit. When you do second weld at the bottom where the English wheel is supported With there being a gap will it pull it out of line. I do hope it will line up but I’m not sure. British racing green with gold pinstripes would be good or maybe cream pinstripes I can see you now shouting I’m not doing pinstripes LOL
I have put some extra welds around the base and yes, it has curled the plate a little. Not enough to bother me particularly. Green, I had thought of that colour or Deep Bronze Green. Brunswick Green is my current favorite along with Gun Metal Grey Metallic. Pinstripes, not a bad thought. However, you will have seen the coachlines where panels on trucks had a border line around them, that sprung to my mind after I read your comment. It would add a touch of individuality and maybe a spot of class too. Again, this is a feature that would make it unique. speaking of unique, in the next video, I will outline some other ideas I have in mind too!
@@sackvilleweldingservices always unique from sackvilleweldingservices as the saying goes if you have a welder it can be anything you want it to be bar the swearing.
I have worked out that I need roughly 45 bars to install the cross sections if I go down that route. Whilst mesh would be good, it isn't cheap! I have the metal for the bars, they just need cutting and welding in.
@@sackvilleweldingservices bars it is just shows I see different types of mesh at car boot and thaught it was cheap as chips. Shows how prices change if you don’t keep up. I need to research more on pricing. Please mention big price changes in videos it’s a huge help and probably good for our international viewers.

Well young man, we will find out later this week IF there are any stresses built up enough to cause a twist?
@@sackvilleweldingservices I have my fingers crossed for you 🤞👏👍🙏

Mesh would be a good idea yes

@@chox2001 Not being one to get around car boot sales very often l can only give trade mesh prices. Happy to put that in videos about material prices.
@@sackvilleweldingservices I will be buying mesh in the future,
