For the Nissan guys ...Greg and Seb from SpecialtyZ will be back in Edmonton for Dynopalooza 2019 in June. I think there will be old roadsters all the way through new GTRs this year. I probably won’t have a car there this year, but it is still a good time ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConVerTT Posted March 3, 2019 Author Share #130 Posted March 3, 2019 Stepped on this and went a$$ over tea kettle yesterday .... Just about broke my neck. I didn’t realize how well the flecks of rust and paint strip made the tote match the pattern in the floor. So - I’ll take the warning sign. No “work” today - time to clean up the shop a bit ....

Yeah, that's a good way to get hurt. I don't bounce the way I use to and that concrete gets harder every year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t take many pics but here is one of my failed first attempt .... I basically made a pattern of the backing plate and traced it onto a flat piece of metal and then used the bead roller to roll in the angles. Then I trimmed the edges to match the original. So what’s wrong with this one? 1) bent it the wrong direction ?♂️ (basically it’s now for the LHS instead of the RHS) and 2) started too close to the edge so wouldn’t have been able to trim it up properly anyways ?♂️ Oh well - all part of the “fun” right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
