Would have to be a shot glass in a scale model car. I don't think so. I see another red project car in one of the shots to the right of the 48/215.

and yes its home brew, so you wont be seeing it in a "commercial" bottle best I can do for next time is to have a proper schooner glass I guess .... actually I have one with an old holden logo on it that might work well!

well ............. the more I cut the worse it got, the bit on the top and side was a plate over the original rust, it just cracked off as I was cutting with the grinder....

so found some good metal eventually then made a plate to replace it all.

I've also pretty much replaced the rest of the dog leg .....

the inner guard section which would be beside the seat in the cabin.

the bottom of that area where they attached the new sill to the car ......................................

Theres about 15-20 hours in this area of the car so far, and its still not finished.... this is all practice for the other side which is pretty much the same!

and while I've been doing all this, the wife has been playing with a new vinyl cutting machine she just got! :punk:

yeah its a common theme on this cars previous repairs, I know when I first got my mig it came with a roll of 0.8mm wire, that was bad enough for welding anything thin, and this stuff looks to be thicker again!
