proformance Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I am located near West Bend, WI. I do part time work doing machining and fabrication. I can do roll cages, sheet metal fabrication, manual machining, etc. I am a mechanic/shop owner by day. Looking at starting this as another business. Please email me with any inquiries. [email protected] Feel free to check out my web site.. although not finished but many pictures of my work. http://www.proformanceengineering.com Quote
Renntag Posted March 12, 2007 Posted March 12, 2007 Nice stuff ! Too far for me to go for chassis/sheetmetal fabrication, but how about a tool to bevel the cut outs in sheet metal bracing for roll cages? The proper term for this tool is escaping me right now. This door panel looks sweet. Quote
mcmmotorsports Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I think the tool he used was nothing more than a cut off wheel and some molding to clean up the look. Quote
Renntag Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I think the tool he used was nothing more than a cut off wheel and some molding to clean up the look. I disagree. A whizzer is the wrong tool to cut aluminum sheeting, you need a sheer/brake for that. Also notice the bead work in the panel. That is a nice touch. The solution for this door panel was simple, but clean and effective. I still would like to either find a source for a brace dimpling tool or have a couple fabricated. All the really nice cages using sheet metal bracing have dimpled holes in the braces. It looks really cool. Quote
mcmmotorsports Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I didn't see the aluminum door skin. For some reason, I thought I was looking at the factory door. My bad. Quote
Sidney Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Probably a good idea to post this on the Midwest site. Quote
Renntag Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Probably a good idea to post this on the Midwest site. Looks like its posted in the NASA Forums "For Sale: Parts" forum to me. Besides, I am in the DC Metro area and I am looking for a dimple die that I can source from anywhere in the world. Why wouldnt a Mid-West resident not want to trade with someone from another part of the country? Quote
Sidney Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Guess I should have said "Probably a good idea to ALSO post this on the Midwest site." Carry on. Sidney Quote
