I'm know "Runge" that's for sure but I'm working on it (i wish )
So I welded up the side pod for the left side. Way to mush stress.
Still working on "Runge's " style but I need a lot more time.
He does the seams as a Master. (must look at more Video's of his) .
Also cut the exhaust hole and fitted the exhaust .
Still much fitting left to do.

I still hate thin stock. :BH:

Will work on some inside brackets.

:cheers:

P.S.
This is way better than the other MESS ! :BH:

OH great ! Just was looking at some other "Runge" stiff.

One of the things I will need are the headlight covers ? Now I know how he did it.
Now that does not mean I can ? :ack:

Thake a look. He is a Master. But that's just me.

-And what it looks like when installed.
Hand mixed 1 yard of cement. Man it was work.

Did do some work on the right side.
This English Wheel thing is more art than just pushing metal. :boxing:
We will see how this goes.
