Re: Fractured Lacerations - Build - I Broke my Knife!
Make a steel cutout like the wood one swamprabbit made for his mockup , round out the corners of the inside cuts and then "I-beam" it on all edges ! Again , if you sand blast it after it will look like a casting ! And if you create your links similarly (and make the links as two units inst...

Re: Fractured Lacerations - Build - I Broke my Knife!
build a girder the same way and use short sections of tubing in the drilled holes and it will drastically improve the strength of the unit ( welded in tubing should be less than the width of the strips used to make the sides from ) ! Sand blast it and it would be hard to tell it from a casting !

Re: Busted Rubber - The Unwanted Child- Build
Just a thought , If you are going to put any real mileage on that creation you might consider a "stone deflector" grill on that radiator ! Good lookin' build , bet it looks better in paint !!
