Six sided, like a stopsign shape and around 30 inches long with a sump, baffles and three fittings not counting the cap... Lots and lots of corners..lolol

You all know there are no bolt holes in the ends of those great old heads. So you can't use them on the newer motors. Newer than what 1969? Anyway with these 2 brackets you can mount that alternator back on the motor. It has to be used with a long water pump and pulleys.

Here is a front shock mount for VW with an extended front end. I cut it out today with the new plasma. It took less than a minute to cut. A quick hit with a wire wheel after it cooled and it is ready to go. I know you like the VW stuff as well as the bucket stuff so I thought you might like to see it.

order of pics:
best cut
best cut
"worst cut" which is still way neater then can be done by hand
"worst slag" which is still quite minimal and EASILY removed
best slag, and theres plenty of area that has NO slag at all

all in all, id say i could NOT have done this by hand. wouldnt have been as neat or as ac ]]> RPM Lowrollerchevy http://www.tbucketeers.com/forum/f35/some-close-ups-flange-ron-cut-me-1810/ http://www.tbucketeers.com/forum/f35/few-pcs-new-cnc-1766/ Fri, 05 Sep 2008 01:09:36 GMT Image: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/RPM_bucket/frontperch.jpg ]]> RPM RPM http://www.tbucketeers.com/forum/f35/few-pcs-new-cnc-1766/ http://www.tbucketeers.com/forum/f35/works-works-1761/ Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:59:24 GMT Finally got all the parts and peices in for the CNC plasma today. Cut out several parts. This thing does a great job of making accurate parts and does it very quick. I'll get some pics up in a day or two. We cut out a lot of just little brackets and tabs, some Corvair steering box mounts and some front shock mounts.
