4th time a charm so I made up a cardboard template.
Cut out a piece and bent it on the vise.

Hi Pugsy
Nice progress with the hinges!
I think you were very lucky to get them sorted out in only 4 attempts, they can be a real challenge.

Thanks for posting the errors as well as the success

Thanks Steve.


Ya, errors, ha....I have a bunch of pages of errors on this thread.

I welded in the piece. A lot of gaps made for some lumpy welding. Better than lumpy gravy or mashed potatoes I guess...........

Went out and got the first chunk O cowl tacked up. I'll wait til tomorrow so I can take my time getting the shape almost dead on before welding.


Stuck the hinge mock up in place with magnets for a look see.

The hinge looks right at home.

Nice going, Pugsy. And congrats on MSOTM!

Finished up the welding and smoothed it out. It's not done but not bad so far.

I made up the last bit for the top half of the cowl for the driver's side and welded it in place. Knocked the proud off and called it a day.
