Cold saw? Do tell. I missed class that day. Also, you mention that the suspension console ear interferes with the headers but on the previous page it "appears" that it clears. BTW, your "going into detail" makes the subject much more interesting. And that curvy tool could come in handy doing bodywork. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

@76-914 Kent - Glad you're enjoying. You better have "liked and subscribed"! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Based on additional feedback like yours, I'm going to start covering more detail about the "how" and show/describe the tools during use. But until then:
The cold saw uses a low rpm (like 65), fluid-cooled blade that makes a spark and burr-free, cut that, because of the coolant, essentially stays "cold".
And you're ahead on the header info because you've seen the build thread. Remember how I had to cut off the flange and move the primary tubes forward by two cylinders?
The video is from before doing that. Thanks for watching!

Back to some real work. Today I deceided to make the suspension console/rear cradle mount boxing panel.
First was to final check the cardboard template and remember to add some additional length so each lower leg reaches the bottom of the mount pickup point plate.
Some careful measuring and a bit of CAD work later and I had what I needed to cut the part on the plasma table.
Then it's measure to determine where that break needed to be added using the brake... wait, what? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Maybe a bit hard to tell from the pics but it fits really nicely and gives what I think is a nicely "completed" look of that area. I think I'll make a stamping die and add a relief that copies the look of those stamped into the shock tower sheet metal.

@SirAndy any idea why embeds don’t show up on an ipad?

It’s just Safari that doesn’t show them. Download chrome app and it works.

Trying to avoid a thread jack here, but chrome is what I use.

@tygaboy what kind of a press break do you have? Those bends are super clean!

@Van B I have one of these: a 48" magnetic brake.

Wow… I have never seen one of those! How thick of plate can it handle?

Edit: just looked it up. That is some impressive kit and not that expensive for what it can do. Now I see how those bends are so clean!

Working up the design and components for that "pivoting link", underside/rear transaxle mount. It'll be a removable structure that utilizes these in-line tube connectors. These are generally used in roll cage construction when you want a bar to be removable. In this case, I found some for 1" OD tube - perfect for what I'm up to.

One half will weld to the end of the cradle's lower tube, the other, to the bracket tube. All in line, no wonky tabs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

A bit of lathe work and I have a lighter, custom fit set. I ran out of 1" tube so it'll be next week before I make any more progress.

Today I spent some time giving a go to bead rolling an embossing vs making a stamping die set. Sure is faster! I did mess up one corner but with a little practice, I think I could get a really nice result.

Next try, I'll tweak the settings so it better matches the inset in the shock tower: it needs to be a bit deeper/the "ramp" a bit longer.

And no, you probably won't be able to see much of it once the headers are there... but that's not going to stop me spending three days working up four different versions of it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

So very cool! These are the details that make you just love to look at a build!

Needs a bit more tidying up, and the horse will get the same treatment, but you get the idea.

You need to add a Fiat badge to the rear so you can really confused the heck out of people.

Good times yesterday live on the set at the Red Barn. I always learn a couple dozen things from Chris while I’m there. And I walked away with an audience prize – a three-way Deutsch connector that I desperately needed. TY!

Very cool metal tube bending lesson to boot!

It looks like the oil filler on top of the tank will hit the trunk lid. Are you going to make an external filler hole, or are you going to shorten the tank?

That sump tank cap is a work of art. I'd make a cutout in the trunk lid the exact shape as the cap with a few mm standoff to allow the motor to move... Or a colab on a carbon trunk lid with a molded cut out... Ck out the IG page for The Son of Cobra

@ClayPerrine Clay - At this point, I really haven't focused on the whole "how will all this clear/not clear". I'll be hitting up @Retroracer Tony to help come up with a design for the overall opening/screened cover/who knows what.
I've still got to decide on the final position of the throttle bodies, as well as some sort of air cleaner setup so, clearly, a ways to go.
