Prototype 2 came out better but still needs tweaking.

Fences work great if you have a straight parallel outer edge to work from. So far I've found that's rarely the case (often cause I can't cut a straight line :/) The last floors I did, I used a well placed little piece of angle iron clamped to the part and rolled along it as a guide. Not perfect but I was very pleased with the end results.

Just presenting options! Looks good, I've enjoyed following along.

That is planned too, I am busier than a one legged man in a ass kicking contest just doing what I am doing :action-smiley-027:

I hear ya, I had to build a fence "designed and produced by "Rube Goldberg" just to make that piece.

I spent all morning modifying my cheap ass bead roller to make this one piece, and the :idea: went off and I remembered all the posts I read on the internet about buying a Mittler Brothers unit instead, the first time around.

Time IS money, lesson learned....

Just ran across this thread. Nice project. It brings back memories, as my first car was a '68 Torino GT, blue in color, with a 289 - 2bbl motor, and a four speed purchased in 1973. Apparently the original 302 had been blown. It was a good car, and got mid to high-20's for highway fuel mileage. I traded it in 1974 at Billion Motors in Sioux Falls, SD for a 1972 R-code Mustang Mach 1. Thanks for the thread.
