One-off Harley fender project #1
OK Folks, been a while since I've made time to get on the forum. I've been busy surviving, and even doin' a little bit of WELDING!!! I'm building a custom, '70s vintage shovelhead for my brother-in-law in exchange for a 2001 f250 4x4. I was forced to sell my TIG welder (another story). But still have my purox OA, and the use of my brother's dialarc 250, esab migmaster 351, and brother-in-law's cutmaster 151. So, Here's the start, It's a swap-meet fender that I paid $5.00 for. I decided to mount it as a strutless style. Actually, cutting the struts, shaping them to the fender, and welding them on, so they are part of the fender. I made a tagboard template, and rough cut the struts out of 1/4" hi strength steel plate, using the plasma. I'll tell you what. Having that plasma cutter saved me HOURS versus using a cutting torch to get the jod started, just in slag removal.
