  • Today I had little time during lunch so I just added the toe recesses. I cut the rectangle out of the front of the toes, then made two small trays the same size as the hole about 5mm deep and tapped them in for a snug fit. I then set the MIG to low wire feed and enough juice to penetrate the .95 sheet and fuse them together.

    A quick grind and you get the idea. More refined clean-up later.

        A long way to go yet mate, but thanks!

        Went to the powdercoaters today with the suit to come up with a plan. Basically because of the filler I need to use to smooth out imperfections and the temperatures required in the powder coating ovens, I can't powdercoat and must go to the auto-paint option.

        Bummer. He was prepared to powdercoat for free as long as I paid for the powder.

                  • A long project but worth it Barry. Hope your son wasn't frightened by it.
