These are terrible photos because the sun was still too bright when I got home from work 
For the next step a good flat surface and a reference square is needed. I happen to have a granite slab and a right-angle plate at home, but you can use simpler tools.
Place the car upside-down on the flat surface and make sure it touches at all four corners. Then get the vertical plates to be truly vertical before making welds O on each side side

Can I have the welding sequence for the Y car please. The letter markings on the Y car have all been completed as per instructions provided under this heading and on a different thread. |

1. Weld A from the top, completely fill the square hole and then grind smooth afterwards to make weld invisible. There is NO welding underneath of point A.
2. Find the point on the other side of the car that is similar to point A and do the same weld & grind as in para 1. above. (Upper right of photos) Effectively, you weld one point and then go to a mirror on the other side.
3. Do the same for points B C D E F G H I & J, in that sequence.
4. Then welds at K & L
5. Weld N over the top only, find its diagonal partner and do the same. Same with M
FROM HERE EVERYTHING MUST BE SQUARE AND LEVEL........
6. Weld O & its partner, and so you carry on alphabetically |

eloid, You were earlier talking about building a 6 axis CNC. How do you plan to get about it. Do you have any designs in mind. |
