Fuel cell cover

admin

Here's a simple cover for a fuel cell as required by the NHRA (or somebody along those lines)I used a circular saw to cut all the pieces, then I put a brush finish on the plates before tacking it all together.. Cut and finish took me a little more than an hour and welding took me about 15 minutes with 3/32 tungsten and running at about 120 amps with my dig on neutral.  Then the aluminum hinge took me another 10 minutes or so to cut and rivet on.The finishing tool can be found at this link: http://www.jamestowndistributors.com...ersatility+Kit Attached ImagesCommon sense in an uncommon degree is what the world calls wisdom.
