So last weekend I went to Ron Yeager's shop in Kingsville, MD for a metalshaping workshop. Reconnected with some old friends and made some new ones.. Thanks to Ron for opening his shop so we could all learn some new tricks and methods..
Today I got another speaker trim ring put together.....this one for the sub in the cargo area of the wagon. We planned on a recessed crest in the stainless mesh, so the mesh was aligned in our aluminum plates and pressed in the Diacro press brake using flattening dies.

Milage must vary. My third photo from top is just the cab.
Post a nice pic, we might get enough interest to justify a second run..
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Very nice work on that! It turned out really cool. I spied the t shirt too and was wondering where in the world that guy found that. It isn't everyday you even hear about one of those.

Spent last night getting an assembly line going to get the rest of the speaker grills assembled. Just say no to plastic speaker grills!

I've said it so many times in this thread already but... WOW, Just WOW!
Beautiful work Robert.
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
