Payton, that's lovely tin work. Just lovely. Did Dan use an english wheel and electric bead roller?

Hey Guys,
Glad you like the work. All the metal forming was done by hand in making the shapes out of 16 ga., then a bead roller, no wheel work. Some slip roll work was also done but mostly bending, twisting and tweaking by hand over anything that doesn't move. Corner radius's done by hand also then everything TIG welded and mteal finished.
Thanks for the interest

Not to mention flexible... I can't imagine climbing into that trunk to TIG weld all those seams! Originally Posted by Ron

I did not want to use the poly bushings so I took JP's advise and used Sphoons end. Very nice piece but it is large, so more mods were in order
