got the patch panels from macs in the mail today. JUNK! same as the other ones just on a better piece of metal.
so it needed more subframe work nothing fancy or pretty here
heres the og piece of body line i have to re weld in after fixing the subframe.gonna keep as much of this around as possible because aparently it is impossible to remake .
im making my own panels now. so far i have a much nice start then what i got as a patch panel. i used a piece of 20 guage for the first run just to see what i could make it do and i like the results. switich to 18 gauge for the final product.
i used my commie bead roller some conduit and bruce springsteen on the ipod. wish i woulda started working on these in the begining of the day instead of messing with the patch panels.
i made this up in about 20 mins and quite happy once i get the hard line from the step die out i think ill be good to go
you can see i started to get the hard line out on the edge. pretty excited about this!!
