3mm stainless sheet for tail light housing..
There is a slight bow in the middle section of the plate..
Pinupukpok ko ayaw dumiretso..kaya kinalsuhan ko ng bakal each side then apply pressure with my vise clamp..
Nung nangawit..ayan flat na sya..

Bore a holes in the corner..
Eto ng metabo grinder ang dedicated kong pang cut ng bakal..mas safe.
Halos maubos ang isang cutting disc..

Re: Custom tail light mount and bumper project
Sir willyF..nasubukan ko na rin yung safety features ng metabo,imbes kasi na mag lean down ward habang nag cut ng stainless sheet..pataas sya kaya pala ipit ng ipit ang disc.buti na lang may clutch naiiwan sa ikot ng motor yung disc.
I add 1-1/4" sa housing..bitin kasi ang sukat ng plate..
Eto naman ang frame nya..1x1x3/16 angle iron..yung may kulay red oxide 1-1/2.

Spot weld lang..prone kasi sa warping ang stainless plate..
Add another angle iron in bottom housing..sabitan naman ng mud guard.
2x2 angle iron..dito ko I bolt ang tail light housing and 3/4 flat bar para maipit ang mud guard.
Flat bar courtesy of my neighbors gate.LOL!

Oxy ace cut 10 wheeler truck chassy..44" long.gawin ko raw bumper rear bumper.
50" ang gusto ng customer na haba ng bumper..ang sabi ko saan ko kukuhanin yung 50" eh 44" lang ang haba nyan may cut pa sa gitna..he simply replied.." Kayang kaya mo yan"
Patay nalintikan na.
Preparasyon pa lang ng pag putol pahirapan na..
May steel rivet na kailangan tangalin
At may support member pa na nakaakap sa chassy

Re: Custom tail light mount and bumper project
Para kumagat sa mag kabilang gilid ang hinang..I wiggle lang ng konti ang rod.not actually weave..side to side movement lang..importante rin ang travel speed..kung mpapansin nyo sa umpisa ng weld may butas..medyo nabilis kasi ako ng hatak kaya nagkaroon ng worm hole.
