[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8796386, member: 656095"] I'm back with only a small update. The brackets came in but as I learned they are only a small part of the puzzle I'm putting together. Luckily I have it all figured out in my mind, I just need to build. With work and the obscene temps lately (fair weather fabricator here) progress has been at a slow pace. I'm in the middle of the kicks, doors, and the "A" pillars. Its my fucked up process. I will need to buy some female rod ends and clevis brackets to tie it all together for strength and rigidity. The first two photos are of the clevis bracket and rod end; respectively. (Small Photos) In case any one is unfamiliar... They are typically used in conjunction with hyd cylinders or linear actuators to move/open/close a "control surface" They will keep the lower section of the AMT's and Planars in a stable position. Anywhoo. The brackets that I found are actually for toy chests/cabinets and they have an interesting design which when painted, should look pretty cool in the car. [ATTACH type="full"]39918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]39919[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]39920[/ATTACH] So the prototypes. . .Well there is a reason why we call them that. Notice the wave of the cut. #hackgang. Bad blade on the jigsaw too much force. I was rushing thinking about that ******* finish line. I should know better. They are going to be rebuilt out of some birch and covered in the suede that I showed before. It did give me a sense of what the finished product is meant to look at and I am happy for that at least. [ATTACH type="full"]39922[/ATTACH] The expectation is to have them mounted to the "A" pillar and the clevis and bolt combo will support them from the bottom. You guys arent in my head so I'll ask you to be patient and see what I come out with in a couple weeks. [/QUOTE]
