Ivan's coupe: seeing RED

[Ivan141]

Haven't stood still this weekend, so here's the obligatory update:

Built myself a bit of reinforcement structure between my DIY turrets.
Was a bitch of a job because I ran out of clean zincor plate to use. Had to resort to using a bit of cut up volvo 245 roof (plenty of metal there) which resulted in much time lost cleaning.

First test fit, looks like it will work:



Welded up:



You can spot some bits of cardboard in the last pics where I will make some more gusseting to hide the ugly corners from sight a bit more. Had hoped to do those yesterday but I ended up spending the best part of 7 hours working on that single damn bit of plate. A hydraulic hole punch would be a blessing for making those flared holes.
