Let the cutting begin......
« on: November 20, 2014, 06:28:56 AM »
Made a start on a new project today. I will post photos as I go and people can have a go at guessing if they want. So for now it's the 'mystery project' :)

Nothing like a new machining project to get the blood pumping LOL!  Looking forward to further hints on the project...

Pretty large.  I am guessing a bracket for the front of the engine.  Holds the A/C and alternator?

Yeah that's some pretty honkin' plate!  You'll be turning those cranks for a while  :o

I'm thinking engine front mount plate (one side?)

Now that's a great guess, and in keeping with the upcoming seaon :).  A fairly stout tree would be required. 

How about the beginnings of a girdle or variation thereof?

Maybe a set of rods!  Or a license plate holder... or pretty much anything in between at this point.  Need another clue!

Smaller pieces indeed, an astute observation.  I am forced to kinda side with Wade, might just need another clue... ???
