Dan had the day off today and went to the shop for most of it. I had some stuff to do so I didn't go except for about an hour, but I see he has made quite a bit of progress on his frame horns because he posted some pictures on the HAMB. So, I guess he won't get mad at me for posting them too.
He wanted to dress up the front of his frame with a cross between a Model A and a '32 front horn design, so what he did was first make some side plates out of 3/16 flat stock that he cut to shape on the bandsaw. Then he made up top and bottom plates out of the same stock.
Here are the early stages of the process. He first made a template out of poster board, then duplicated it in steel. The gap he left between the two pieces before welding was so that he could have a rounded corner after he ground it smooth, so that it would match the contours of his frame rails.
Looks Factory!!
