Back Again With Small Parts And Jigs
Back Again With Small Parts And Jigs.I didn't leave town.I have had things to do.
Besides these small parts take time.
The expensive stand I am using to hold the small parts while drying ,holds 5 axle pegs.I have stained the ends dark Jarrah then polyed.Next to them is the headlights on their brackets.Then the steering wheel & column,followed by the thin gear stick.
The seat has dowels fitted and locate in the chassis.I dont want the seat to come loose in car,as you cannot get to it when body is glued to chassis. Below this lot are the 5 wheels, Grill and both bumpers. All nearly ready to fit.Getting closer now.
Next Photo is the jig I made to drill the guards for the tail lights.The end bracket is swapped to the other side to drill the other guard.Just pull the pin,put bracket on the other side and replace pin.Works fine. Bit hard to see but the clamp is holding the guard in place
The last photo is the jig for drilling the headlights for mounting dowels.Put h/l in large hole and drill down the top hole that gets them centered .Both are the same.I made second hole with longer small shaft for more accuracy. Tested this on large dowell first.
It was suggested I put a working boot lid in car.Well I am working things out for my next car.Hope to have a dicky seat .and opening bonnet as well and a wood motor under bonnet.
Not sure what next project will be yet.
Could be a wooden lock.Maybe an A model Ford Truck.I have the plans for this now.
Or maybe another 34 chev with the above mods.Back To Car Building & All The Sawdust.

Hey Aussie,
I was beginning to wonder what happened to you?????
But I can see you are back on the job now. The fiddly bits take time don't they.
I like your jigs...the only way to go really, even for one offs. At least if you decide to make another one, you will have it already set to go.
I have templates for lots of things and often mix and match them to get what I want on another project. With your headlight drilling jig, just makesure the lights are the samr size for the next project.
Looking forward to seeing it completed,
Chipman

Maybe it gets confused when you have 5 tabs open for different sections of the forum...
BTW... Looking awesome!!
If you ever do another, you could do one without the guards, and glue two wheels together for each side of the rear. You wouldn't even have to do a bonnet... although trying to replicate a sidevalve V8 would be a challenge. Chev might be easier.Too many projects, so little time, even less money!Are you a registered member? Why not? click here to register. It's free and only takes 37 seconds! Doing work around the home?

This thread surely has attracted a great deal of interest and rightly so. It just reinforces my thoughts that we are all kids at heart. Congratulations AUSSIE this has been a great thread and we are all looking forward to seeing the car completed.
BTW Love the lathe.Reality is no background music.
