Check out or updated website. I'm currently load lots of new info on the site and hope to have it updated this week. We already have lots of new pics of lots of projects that have been low key.

I like what you did with the new web page layout. Way better than before but it seems you cant open up completed projects/current projects. Still in early stages?

I see Scott (lat g) did the layout design, great job so far .

"Yeah that lower grade program we use has it, But it will not carry a feature designed after you flatten the part back into the part when you fold it. So I just put the holes in it when its flat and pretend until my vision is complete in metal. Eric and I are just getting slick with what can be done with the sheetmetal feature in Solidworks. We took want would be a few days labor out of that Chevelle chassis with that program"

Great Stuff Roger, CAD tip, Use the unfold and fold feature in the sheet metal tool bar instaed of the flat pattern in the feature tree. This way you can unfold the part make your modifications, fold it back up and it will show up in the bent part. In Solidworks at least the flat pattern must remain at the bottom of the feature tree.

BTW did you ever do any thing with that ls7 manifold?
See ya, Jeff

Website looks good.....:thumbsup:

Hay Jeff. I use the fold and Unfold. But it is tough to put holes in part that is on a radius. So I just put them in after its flat to get what I want. Sure it lacks on a PDF drawing. But I'm not building drawings.

The project with you manifold is getting posted today. It is the Test car project. Bu I might build a stock one first. Just to show the easy stuff, Not as much fun for me but better for business.

New site looks good!

Oh - and the projects are all awesome too!

Holy Cow!!! whats that first table weigh????!!!!

that is sooo cool!!!

once again :thumbsup:

Are you going to dimple it before or after forming? Are you just trying to get the holes laser cut first so that all you have to do is dimple it after it is formed?

I'm just trying to get the holes in a radius. Which is difficult to do in general since there is no flat surface to draw on. I have a system to make it happen. It just does not look good in a rendering.

It works if all you want is the holes!
