    Thanks Dave.
    Bobby that was my first shot at stamping. All I was after was the first 1/2" of the edge on each piece. I'd like to play around with it on other projects though. I even thought of maybe stamping a Z28 or Camaro logo on the firewall someplace. I don't know if I do that or not yet, just kicking the idea around.

    Actually you did a fine job now I know if I try it on something it will work out . Some smaller stuff for dash and things your idea brings it all forward .

    Forgot I took some shots of the process when I stamped the shallower inlet side.

    I cut the 3/4" MDF out on the CNC. I gave one side 1/8" clearance for the metal and the other side the circle press fit into the MDF.





    This made the die the right depth (I needed it to be stamped 1/2" deep for the right offset). It also made it easy to register the die halves.





    Once out of the press all I had to do was hammer the tucks and it's ready to trim to the firewall. The firewall that doesn't exist yet.

    Busy weekend! Walt, the owner of the '36 Plymouth I'm building was up Thursday evening and I casually mentioned a 'glass '28 roadster on Deuce rails a buddy of mine has... It's on a frame that Bart and I built about 5 years ago...Bart lost interest in the car and never completed it... So, Walt was interested in the car, went out there today to look at it and Walt bought it! Told me once the '36 was done I could take half a day off then get started on his roadster...then on his Road Runner!!! Looks like I'm booked up again..but someday I'm gonna really retire!!!! While some primer was drying on the '36 today I did take some time to weld the skin on the inside of the tailgate for my pickup, so some grinding then fill and prime it'll be ready for paint!!! Busy, busy, busy!!! Having a blast, too!!!

    Well having a blast and being employed are both good rare things today! Hopefully you'll get out to a warmer wintering hole one of these days, or maybe become a part time snowbird!

    Great looking frame and drivetrain; I'd be temped to put it in one of the local shows like it sits at least once.
