Hey guys,
Ive been quiet for a long time, but finally have some things sorted out (kinda) haha and ready to get back to what I love. Props!
As i wait on my shell, ive been going around collecting misc parts that i have laying around. One part needed to be updated. My HGA. A friend made it a few years ago as a gift and it was time to finish it off.
First, like a young and stupid kid, i drilled the holes in the face wrong. They werent set at 90 degrees like they should have been.
So, i cleaned it all up and welded the holes shut
Next, i machined it all back down to resurface the face and get it ready to be welded to the body.
Youll notice i machined off the raised disc area too
Finally, I used the spengler reference pics and positioned my bolt holes to match the position on the HGA to the fittings. Then, it was time to weld it up and drill the last 3 holes!
Turned out pretty decent. More to come
