Is their a name or part number on the laser so I can do a search and find them?

Thanks for the info.

the only info I have is the laser part number which is 95-5022002
no manufacturing name info.

I tried to look thru my ebay, and paypal records but neither of them have the info.
there are a ton of lasers on ebay, and if you would like the basic dimensions of this unit let me know, I'll throw a caliper on it.

Sorry, wish I could be more help.

Got a little bit done on the drivers side quarter panel.
tacked everything up, and did a small amount of hammer and dollie werk.
since I have so little to start with in regards to a car, I have to basically get every little project half done, until I can bring the bulk of the parts together.

FUN!!!

Piece by piece and step by step is how it gets done! Looks good, so has your wheel shown up yet?

yeah, the wheel has been here awhile now, havent had much time to practice on it, however I need as much as I can get lol

I have had ZERO spare time these past few months... which SUCKS!!!

A small update

I finally got some good info on measurements for the sub frame so I could put the bottom of the car together.
Once I triple checked all my measurements for accuracy, and square I started on my mounting system for the body to the frame.

After the 5" channel in the front, factory mount on the rear the rake of the body should look good. I had a client of mine who does first quality steel cabinet, counter top, etc werk bend me up some 14 ga as a "C" channel with the rake cut out of one leg to match the body rake. Then I cut out another strip of 14 ga to match the shape of the sub rails to box the under side of the body, and give it a nice clean look underneath.

first pic is top view of the sub frame mount sitting on the frame, almost don't see it

second is a bottom view showing the gap that was filled

third is a view from the opposite side showing how I need to do a little more werk to finish making this strong, then look good

First of all Josh, I apologize for totally forgetting to get you those measurements I promised. I kept thinking about it at home but by the time I got to the shop it had slipped my mind completely. I'm so sorry, especially since you were so helpful through that powder coat fiasco. Hope I can get you some info or something in the future to make up for it a little.

Glad to see you are back on it again. Looks like you are tackling the subframe and patch panels very well. I know what you mean about life sometimes getting in the way of what we want to do and the months and years fly by.

Hi Josh, just found your thread and have read it through and I now would like to complement you on your workmanship (werk) and also having been a Panelbeater in a previous life, I appreciate the extra work in unstitching the panels to accomplish an excellent finish. Keep it going mate, (NZ slang)...
As for Pop Don, (Itoldyouso), alzheimers is slowly setting in sadly,..
I hope this '30 Tudor you are building is going to be a keeper as with all the panelwork (werk) you are doing it is going to be better than new.

No worries Don and no need to apologize, like I said.... life gets busy, and things slip by.
Besides, for the powder coat help I was holding out for a kidney, or some other valuable transplantable part

Thanks for the kind words Whiplash, I don't have any definite plans just yet for how long I'll own her.... just enjoying the journey, and education on this one. Well, when time permits any how

Believe me, you don't want ANY of my old parts. I really do feel bad for that slipping my mind though.

Don

Nice work, so far your kicking butt, keep it up. I really enjoy and learn from all builds.

Street glad to see some updates . Time can be a thing that has none left most days .

I love this tube bending software, Bend tech has saved me countless hours of grief, and $$$ in not making scrap parts.
http://www.2020softwaresolutions.com/

I wanted to put a wire run tube in the drivers side sub rail to keep the wiring out of the passenger compartment as much as possible. after 5 minutes with a tape measure, 10 minutes on Bend tech, and 20 min to cut, lay out, and bend I have a wonderful part to do just that with

design the part, computer spits out a sheet that tells me where to bend the tube, and when to rotate it, how much rotation etc. end result is the software makes me look like I have skills, even tho I really don't. Which is good for me as I will need all the help I can get for the inner structure, suspension components and roll cage when the time comes.


Once the part was cut, bent and verified I located it in the frame to get measurements for trimming of the tube, and hole location. then of course cut the tube and holes for final fit, and welding. as you can tell I got side tracked and still have to do final fit, and welding. to this point it appears it will turn out very nicely however.

That software sure beats the drawing I made on the shop floor when I bent up my rollbar last week. If a guy were bending up a few bars something like that would really come in handy, thanks for the heads up Josh.

Don

It's nice to have the right tools for the job.
