  12. the key to making multi angle parts fast is draw the part inside of the block and do all work while it is square cut angle tape cut off part back on so its still square. rotate square make next angle cut. tape cut back to block never lose cut off part rotate next side cut with bandsaw tape cut off part back on 4 cuts per block 20 min per post all sides match . I sat and tried to think of how they were making these parts before the modern shaper machine some sides have 3 different angels cuts per side .you can do this by tape cut part back on so its square again reset ban saw angle cut same side again . kyle see blue tape holding cut off bottom so part is still square and flat
  13. the one on left is not shiney at all I thought that was how nickel looked but looks just like it was plated yesterday
  14. have u ever heard of some wood that was pre maid at all for buicks or does everyone have to set down and figure out a set for there self .Now that I made a hole set for the 1925 Master roadster it took a wile .I did not fit the ends together yet I thought I should set up a post in the center of the car and true up the hole car as best as I can so all the joints fit tight and are true the first time and doors fitting up really good .hear is the rest of the wood parts to form the body
  15. The shell that i picked was the thick one I have 5 that came with the cars its a big difference in them I post picture of them lined up of course the best looking one was not the right one so I had to plate the right one in my 1925 book its says its 1/2`` thicker
