Should make it "ISINKALOT" with the Titanic as the background.

 

Cutoff wheel on an angle grinder is probably you best choice. Good news is the $15 HF 4.5" special and a stack of cutting disks will be a tool you'll get years of use out of.

A sawzall will grab that sheet metal and push and pull it around and you end up with wavy body panels. It's also much harder to control on thin material. Reciprocating saws are great for cutting through hoses, wiring, rusted bolts, and tearing through things you don't give a shit about at all.


Here's how I did my fenders

 

The letters need a pink shadow

 

I was hoping you could help me with printing these eventually haha. I wanted to add more pops of color but I know it’s difficult when you have to do multiple layers of a single color

 

Beautiful, just what I needed thank ya brother. After the diff I'm gonna mount a used 32 on my spare to test fit for the reeel deal

 

Is that the air tool version? I picked up one of the 18 volt die grinders, and with a pack of these

$23 Shark Industries USA PN-12730 Die Grinder Cut-Off Wheel and Mandrel Kit, 3" x 1/16" x 3/8” Shark Type-1 Double-Reinforced Thin Wheels, 54 Grit (6 Cutting Discs and 1 Mandrel)

https://www.amazon.com/Shark-Weldin...k+cut+off+wheel+mandrel&qid=1614614628&sr=8-4 it absolutely eats the lunch of my air cutoff wheel. And with a set of carbide bits...good god. It eats metal.

Agreed on the sawzall though. Great to have, not so great for sheet metal.

 

not air

 

$38 REXBETI Double Headed Sheet Metal Nibbler, Drill Attachment Metal Cutter with Extra Punch and Die, 1 Cutting Hole Accessory and 1 Step Drill Bit, Perfect for Straight Curve and Circle Cutting (Gold)

These also work really good. Can be difficult around complex bends in the sheet metal but on relatively flat panels, these are the shit.

 

I've had those on my Amazon wish list forever but have never bought them

 

Do you have a garage or car cover at least?

 

But crow told us titanic never sank

 

Laaaammmmeee


I bought a temporary 10x20 with sidewalls from harbor freight for 250 a couple years ago, thing was perfect for our wet weather here in WA but I let a buddy borrow it and he didn't stake it down so the wind took it away

 

hahaha my uncle did the same thing. I noticed it was gone one day and asked about it. He was saying it was a cheap piece of shit and my aunt looked over and said he forgot to stake it down and it blew away.


He lives in metro denver so I always wonder how many blocks it flew over before wrecking someone's yard

 

Ouch :/ glad he didn't get sued over that one. We had a neighbor growing up that had a trampoline taken away with a hurricane and ruined a different neighbors shed.. that a a legal battle for them

buy a pallet of 1/4" drywall, a couple kegs, and invite some buddies over for a long weekend

 

I mean, it's the interwebs, so I have my opinions. They stink just like everyone else's tho.

 

Fancy metal door handles come back in stock the 25th, if anyone was wondering.

 

They’re out of stock? It looks like they can’t handle all the demand.
