the Sinister T- 5 day build

[Dr Crankenstein]

Beautiful work, Bonehead! I consider myself a good fabricator and welder, but I'm no artist!

Always great to watch a pro weld.

Good for you to have that time with your brother BH. I have wanted to build something with mine my whole life. Thanks for sharing with us.

I agree, the whole build is awesome. Have you ever considered doing a tutorial on how to make a skull like that? I would love to learn that. Jim

 

[Bonehead]

really like the shapes you guys have put into this rear frame work !! and the scalloped front rail ends,,
nice work to you both !!!!!

Thanks, I was shooting for something different, than the same old square ends.

Had to do it.

I have done some in the past, and I think there are some posts on here somewhere, but it is like sculpting, more than welding, and it is hard to teach.

 

[Bonehead]

Perfect !!!! love the stance... keep us updated [P[P

Thanks, I work hard for a good stance, the car needs to tell you something before the motor fires up.

WOW!!
Always great to watch a pro weld.[

One of the things that slow me down on a build is all the side work as a welder.

Nice. Your making me feel bad about the six years or so I've bean working on mine.

I have plenty of 6 year old projects sitting around too.

Wowsers!!! From the look of those welds you would think you were a professional welder or something... haha! [dr[dr[dr

Try having an welding inspector standing behind you when you are trying to do that.

 

[animal]

Awesome work! That is something he'll cherish, and something for both of you to be proud of. [cl[cl

Looks good!

Is it staying in gel coat or getting paint?

 

[donsrods]

Really looks great, BH. But you need to slow down, you are making the rest of us look bad !

Maybe I missed it, where is your brother down here ?

gel or paint

Looks good!

Is it staying in gel coat or getting paint?

Probably getting some paint but that feels a long way off.

 

[Bonehead's brother]

slowing down

Really looks great, BH. But you need to slow down, you are making the rest of us look bad !

Maybe I missed it, where is your brother down here ?

Bonehead is of course in Colorado but I (Bonehead's Brother) am here in Naples. Some days I am such a slacker and don't work on it at all.

Yeah, we are in Ft Myers. I understand only too well about "slacking". This Summer has been brutally hot, and some days I go to the shop and turn around and back home. We have a shower in the shop and sometimes have to stop working, take a shower, change clothes, and try it again.


If I wasn't pushing to get this one done for November, it would drag on for another 8 years.

You are going to have a nice little bucket when you do get it running. I'll look for you on the road.

 

[smallfoot]

Excellent on ya both! Sally is looking great! Welcome Boneheads Brother![cl

Thanks much. I might have to drop in sometime and see your project. Bonehead sends his regards.

Excellent on ya both! Sally is looking great! Welcome Boneheads Brother![cl

Thanks for the welcome.

And now, a sneak peek into the birth of Sally's frame in Boneheads shop.
