The BS Daycare but no build thread

Nelson, finish the bumper and come make me an offroad bumper for the mr2. K thanks

 

This is what I expect

 

He's built 3 vehicles in the time you've sent 5 to their graves

 

This is SIG WORTHY

 

Yea he’s in the mr2 discord with us.

 

Hmm? Tundras running, corollas running, mr2 is running. Red taco should be going together this winter. Etc

The 95 is also driveable too

 

Quuuuuuick flips

 

Adding a little progress.

After figuring out the general idea for my wings, I thought I'd get some metal cut to get a good idea of fitment.

Here you'll see I've taken the cardboard templates and transferred them onto steel.



Fortunately I've got a lot extra in case I fuck up



Being happy with the first one, I thought I'd continue onto the second.



Here they both are!



Going to take my time here to shapen them up and get nice even surfaces before I proceed with making the side and bottom panels.

 

And this is why I wish I had a CNC plasma setup; I'm stacking these parts and going all around making sure they're both mirror images of each other.





Still need to carve out that inner curve.

 

Starting to take shape.

 

Been feeling productive lately so thought I'd revisit my cardboard templates one more time.





Onto cutting!





Really coming together looking like a kit



Need to work on the bottom plates for the wings and start measuring out some gussets.

 

Camper heater won't start


Don't like it

 

Oof

Is it one of those Mr Heater portable buddy heaters?

 

I'm in the wrong thread

Sorry

But no, my new to me camper has a heater in the wall

 

@Sperrunner HVAC dude to the rescue

Not like much "building" happens here anyway

Did get the bottom panels of the wings cut at least. Now to hit them with a flap disc and get everything cleaned up and even.



Welding up the "base" of the bumper would have to be next before I tack the wings up against it.

 

Like a normal gas wall heater?
Does the pilot light and stay lit? Idk how a camper one works, but ik how a normal house wall one does

 

We hear a click and smell propane, but no light. I don't know if it's pilot light or a different ignition some how.

probably gonna pull it out and take it to town

 

Mock up.

 

Might just be dirty. Like on a gas stove when the igniter gets dirty and doesn’t make a big enough arc to light

 

I gotta pull the whole furnace out to get to it

will try that eventually
