A new build.....if you're interested.

Played in the shop again today for a while. Took a lot longer than I thought to make these panels. Started off with making some marking templates. From there, I had to cut some 1/16" stock to make the raised panels. After I cut them and glued them on the doors, that was pretty much my day.

Ken - Every time I think there is not possibly one more level of detail - you go two more. I think we make a contest out of guessing the date you put rocks stick in the tire treads...

After hitting a slump, where life and poor production got in the way of this project, I can finally report on a good day with plenty of progress. I'm not going to label each picture, I'll just post them all and let the pictures show off my day.
Bottom line, I managed to get all the hinges made and mounted. As well, I got all 4 doors mounted, adjusted and functional. The front and the rear doors have different pivot points in the hinges which made it a little more challenging and tedious but I managed. Over all, a pretty good day of progress on the build.

And the last four pictures from today.

Amazing! I just got new glasses and I don't think they would work well enough to do those tiny little hinges. Great work as always Kenn.

I bet it would turn out just as sweet as the real thing....

I just don't know what to say anymore. You just keep one upping it. Can we see the screw threads on the gas cap?

After calibarating my mesoscopicretonometer i see a little deviation in tread wear on the tires You probably need to account for that rolling back and forth on the table.

And with today's shop time, the Hummer is done. Running boards are made and installed. I had to make some custom mounts for them, but that's okay. After starting these builds back in February, it's nice to see them finished.

Awesome! Now it needs to go in a glass case to protect it! Kinda sad to see it end,....... wow February, really?
