Project “Ghost Duster”, 1970 Duster Corner Carver
After the rails and inner fenders were welded I decided to make a lower rad core support. It’s .100” wall 2x2 tubing. I milled slots all the way through the tube and cut the metal away leaving only two sides. Then I cut out some plates with the shape of the radius bend that I was looking for. I tack welded a piece of sheet metal with the same inner radius as the plates, plasma cut a hole for a c-clamp to pull against and clamped the side of the tube against the sheet metal guide and tacked it in place.
