    And this weekend I made the drivers foot rest...






    And now I need some help and inspiration with the remaining dimple dies...

    I want to add plenty for some reduced weight but also cos dimple dies! Lol So it I see it as an opportunity to do something interesting. I love symmetry and geometric patterns, and so version 1 was this... (circles being the holes and there will be 5-10mm of the trumpeting around that)




    And then version 2, a bit more traditional and asymmetric...




    Side by side...

    If you can get past his annoying and childish American arrogance, then they've done some great builds, and he has a truly brilliant fabricator called Dom. He's certainly the brains behind the operation!

    He did some great stuff with an aluminium footrest in one of their drift cars. Good for inspiration.

    EDIT - took me a while to find it, but here it is;

    The latest build they're doing, a modern Supra with a Judd V10 motor is quite something.

    I found the Supra build over Xmas, very cool indeed, ?Dom spec? is certainly something! I had not watched any previous vids though so that was helpful, thank you! I feel like when it comes to fab work and building cars in general, if you have a lathe and a mill the possibilities of what you can achieve go to a whole new level!

    Starting drilling, punching and dimpling last night...




    I?ve learned a few things. The initial pilot hole for the hole punch is not as critical as I thought in terms of alignment. Because the hole punch clamps/stamps through rather than turning, you can use that to line up square. The dimple die obviously needs a snug fit to the hole but is really effortless. I was expecting lots of distortion on the steel but none.

    I also learned I had to scale down my size plans. The die?s themselves have a good 5-10mm of flat after the taper section. So with that first row, that flat section was encroaching on the tapered part of the hole next to it. I just got away with it!

    Hopefully get the rest done later, but it?s actually quite time consuming if you want them nicely lined up.
