My nephew's battle axe is finished : Now i can return to my project relates tasks. A sunshade to be used @ Leroy's shop. It's 4' x 4' x 1/4" Luan. I have half of it covered with 1 1/2 oz. fiberglass mat.

Nice axe!

 

[DonnyRay]

I finished covering my 4'x4' sunshade with 1 1/2 oz. fiberglass mat. I made a frame for it out of 1 1/2" x 1/8" perforated angle steel. I need to primer the angle steel frame then i can bolt the fiberglass covered Luan to the frame. I still need to weld 2 pairs of angle steel ( each will form a T ). The T's will be my vertical posts that will support my angle steel & Luan top ( for the shade ).I will C clamp the T shaped posts to Leroy's table top.

I have 2 orders placed by my great nephews : They are 7 and 11 years old. SHOTGUNS ???? WEDDING MAKERS ???? What the H*L* ????

 

[DonnyRay]

This whole thing started with a chainsaw last Halloween : I'd rather be working on my project instead..... " MATCH MAKER " as in " SHOTGUN WEDDING ". lol !!!!

More progress photos of the 2 shotguns. Soon i can go back to finishing my driver's door conversion.

 

[DonnyRay]

Thanks for the likes rbsWELDER & choppedtop. I'm going to work on my driver's door conversion tomorrow.

 

[DonnyRay]

I did more to my driver's door conversion. The angles on the left & right side of the door well have been swapped over. Now the angles are correct for a driver's door. Remember i started with a passenger's door kit i had to switch contours from a passenger's side to a driver's side.

 

[DonnyRay]

After the resin sets up , i'll flip the door over & take some photos of my 2 braces ( used to copy contours & transfer them to opposite side of the door well ).

 

[DonnyRay]

Here's the photos i promised : I placed 1/8" spacers between the door edge & the door well opening. I mated the outer surface of the door to the outer surface of the door well. I ran a screw through the door well , the spacer & the door to hold everything in place. Then i made the 2 braces with the duplicated contours. I screwed everything together . Then i glassed in my pre positioned door well contours ( after i flipped them around ).

 

[DonnyRay]

Another photo of one of my braces for the driver's door conversion : The angle on the right end of the brace is more severe than the angle on the left end of the brace.

 

[DonnyRay]

The finished job came out pretty good . I have to do some slight cosmetic work with BONDO.

 

[DonnyRay]

Thanks for your like Kevinrevin.

LADIES & GENTLEMEN............ I present my driver's door !!

 

[DonnyRay]

I'll try to install it tomorrow 6-11-21. I have to remove the passenger's door & make a few corrections. So , one door goes on & another door comes off.
