Thanks!!!!

Some update.

I re-draw a proper land rover Series 2 front view, and a series 3 back view.



Learn that building from Pics is not as accurate as building from blueprint.

Made the roof today.


Side view


internal view
Yes I know they are too long. I will do the cutting and trimming later.

Made the hood too!

front shot


top shot


side angle shot.

dont worry about all the rough edges and improper fit, they will be sorted out later

Made new left and right window panels too. the old ones are short of 4mm.

Not sure if I should make open-able doors? The curves are hard to cut. Most probably
need to laser cut, what are your opinions?

Nice work.

U made a jig to bend the roof and hood?
Nice bend job!

[wyetuck88]

Nice work.

U made a jig to bend the roof and hood?
Nice bend job!

nah its done by machine. 1mm thick aluminum is bendable but 2mm aluminum requires machine to do the job.

I see I see... Was about to ask u post photos of the jig...
Thought you carved a male and a female mold and clamp the aluminium between the molds to form the parts...

[wyetuck88]

Rig is not ready la still need to make a new chassis. . need to make sure everything is finished properly then weld together then its counted as complete.

you will need a sheet metal brake press. you can DIY by using L shape brackets and a mini hydraulic jack.

Picked up some 1 inch by 1 inch square rod and started working on the chassis



Bend and cut into half, and join together by nuts and some threaded screw
