Nice work.

If you want to see it work Moneybox, I have a couple of old videos on YT to look at.

Today I made a video of what I did the day before. The video is a detailed step by step on how I make my Crevicing Devices for those who like making stuff themselves. I wanted to upload it here but it's way too large so, I will upload it to YouTube here:

This is "Ellie", the Spirit of Ecstasy from the front of my car. Note she was gold plated, which is kind of fitting for this site! However, I prefer Ellie to be in her original state, a stainless steel alloy made from steel, chromium and nickel. Took quite a bit of elbow grease to polish the...

That is a photo of my father's car before he bought it from a chap in Victoria!

Thanks Simmo, with the metal work near done it's body prep next, my least favorite part of a resto. Changing colour so all doors, boot and bonnet off with rear window coming too. Good thing is they are all aluminium so much lighter than they look and being big chunky things, bolts, hinges etc...

Today I only spent half the day working on the car. One of the last rust repairs to do was a small section at the lower leading edge of the front right guard/wheel arch. This time, I took photos of how I make up a small but complex shape by welding two or more sections of sheet steel together...

Good evening all, whilst dinner is cooking, here is how the days' work turned out. Pretty happy with the results, got most of it smooth with file and sanding so not much filler work required. I'm a happy lad!

Today should see the finish of repairs to the rear right quarter and sill section, complete inner and outer panels and some internal sections are being done here as the rust was effecting most of it. Not too challenging this one as larger sections are easier to remove completely, duplicate and...

There is a lot of lead wiping on this car and filler as they were hand finished. Lead is a pain when welding as it makes a weld burn and blow holes, you have to remove at all from where you are repairing. I suppose there are people still lead wiping as it is stable and doesn't contract at all...

And before I head to the garage.....

'Today I Made' , looks all forlorn and forgotten so...since I like making things and have a few projects going, I will share a bit. One project I have recently started is a major resto of my late fathers car. Poor old thing has been neglected for a while and didn't get looked after so well in...

To answer a few enquiries, yes I am still making these attachments. I have made very few during the last 2 years for obvious reasons but if anyone wants one, just search on eBay as I dont think selling or promoting new gear here on PA articulates with the site rules. Thanks for your...
