Bob Ward from Australia sends his latest project. He is working on a 1935 Hudson 8 cyl roadster. The problem with his car was that the cast iron fitting attached to the radiator top tank has rotted and is irrepairable. Also
there is little chance of obtaining a usable replacement so he decided to make one of a block of steel using a manual lathe and mill. And so he did. 10 Kilogram of steel pared down to 1.4 kg. And look at the superb result.How he did it:
The job was done using the 3 jaw, 4 jaw and sacrificial faceplate in the lathe
, standard vice, tilting vice and rotary table in the mill. First he roughed out the internal cavity. corner drilled the cavity, removed most of it on the lathe and then milled the rest.... and so on. 
Editor: to be honest, we have a lathe in our workshop, but most of the work Bob did is sheer magic to us and could not be done by tour hands connected to our brain. If on the other hand want to know where Bob went into the nitty gritty machining stuff, then check his adventures at the Metalworkforums.
If you have a project that you like to show, send us pictures and some information to office@prewarcar.com
