Hi all
I'm a way off yet but when I come to cutting out the rust, how do I know how much I can take before I need a chassis brace? I'm planning on a rotisserie approach which i think will mean that the chassis will be suspended from each far end, therefore putting the most leverage on the weakest spot, ie, the floor and sills. Do I just go straight for braces? It feels like that makes the most sense but wondered if anyone had any advice. Cheers! Stoddy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Brent,
IIRC Tangerine is in CT, I head there for work a lot. Free (?) Shipping. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I am pretty cheap too so will either buy someones braces that are done with them or black pipe some. IF someone in the North East had a table they were done with I would probably buy that instead of making one. Either way when I am done with both they will go up for sale here. Mostly I am just happy to be started. I came into the house yesterday with a shiteating grin as my wife made fun of me for the reverse raccoon from my safety glasses and my nasty muttonchops from where my respirator wasn't. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) I thought you were suggesting it would be a good option for the OP. Just noticed they are in UK so maybe not. My rotisserie is close to the Tangerine design and I'll bet it cost only $50 less for just materials although it's hard to say since the tube lived a live as a flat jig first. But $50 for precut and no measuring and pondering? Not bad at all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
