You and Sue should have been here last night. Dan and I went to see Don's band and Dan sat in again. We had a blast and I even had a young lady ask me for a few dances.............being the gentleman I am, how could I refuse. I may have to start going out more.

Cheers Whip, they definitly wont be chromed, If i could of got stainless collectors i would of polished them but now they will be lightly blasted and the mild steel collectors will be hot aluminium sprayed and then the whole lot done in White VHT.

Hey Don,I watched a episode of CSI Miami last night and it was about cougars and cubs. Now mate, I'm going to watch all the episodes to see if you appear on it.

Charlie didnt realise you was on FB.

As I said earlier the wingnuts were temporary, after searching the net for some tri eared spinners and not finding anything suitable i decided to make some instead.
First i started with some stainless acorn nuts and turned off the hexagon part, next some ears were cut from 3/16" stainless and blended & fettled and pre polished, next a small jig was made for TIG welding them, then more polishing, then i had some custom tri bar wingnuts that i could tighten by hand
















:nsra::cheers:

My God, do you have some beautiful nuts or what?

Sweet.

With the way you fab, I figured you'd make up some collectors.
They're not too hard to make.

Shinny ones at that

I'm really glad to see you aren't building this one very fancy, Steve.


I KNEW you couldn't keep your little hands off of this one.

Don

I think I'm gonna be Sick............................

Absolutely AWESOME...You just keep it goin Steve..Fiberglass and stainless Willys coupe comin up... Good on ya... If nothing else,,it gives the rest of us ideas..Now,if only I could weld stainless....

"Oh my god" were the words that I was thinking, then read the other comments. Steve I wouldn't even know how to buff and smooth something like that, no less make it look perfect! I have to rethink your original posts of keeping this one simple and to a tight budget! And this is just for the exhaust!

Budget!!!! It dosen't cost much to MAKE things the way you want them......as long as you don't charge your self LOL

I was going to make them but thought buying might save me some time
