A couple more winter projects

[mdrburchette]

I've got a couple projects that should keep me out of trouble for a while. The first is adding cabinets and work station in my car trailer. We're using scraps what we have lying around to do this, and I found some oak doors for $5 a piece at a salvage place. I'll pickle stain the oak and Ron is bending a stainless steel top for it this week.


I've also got the 72 soon-to-be racecar completely stripped and it is now getting sandblasted. As soon as it comes back, we'll prime it and start working on the rollcage and bodywork:

Here's a couple pics of the Abarth bumper blocks inserted in the bumper mounting holes. Somebody wanted to see this but I can't seem to find the thread:

Notice how the front mount is too long and will have to be cut down to fit the bumper close to the body:

Denise,

What site do you upload the pictures and then link to your posts? My workplace blocks photobucket, picassa, flickr etc., but I can see all of your pictures!

where did u get your bumper blocks?

Looking at the side view of the bumper block it seams the front valance and fender bow in right at the seam, I think it should be one big gracefull arch, if that section can be pulled out the bumper block should fit perfectly.

That trailer looks better than my apartment!

It does look that way, but the mount on the bumper block is also too long and hits the front support. I was hoping to use these blocks on my 71 so I hope you're right about it being bent, but it that's about the only panel that doesn't look so bad on this car.

Rey, I believe these actually came from Bruce's but I traded them for a dash set I made at Freakout.
