There not just lighting the chassis there there to weaken it mainly.

Think about being strapped to a RSJ the hitting something solid at say 30mph the RSJ won't give.

Like a modern car you need the chassis to collapse in a impact ;)

This is the hole punch I'm using.

I see your point :lol:

 

Thanks for the info - I think I need one of those in my life :lol:

Also want your garage and jig ;)

 

I'm building a tyre rack and accessory holder for my trailer when the weather gets warmer and need some big holes cut so thought I'd ask :)

Cool.

I built the garage about 5 years ago now after moving few times and then doing loads on the house I decided it was time for a proper man cave. ;)

Took me about a year to do and had to sell a collection of classic cars to afford it. :(

There both 2CV based cars called Lomax ment to look like a old morgen three wheeler.

The blue one dad built as a retirement project 20+ years ago he been across Europe in it and east the west America.

Couple years ago now we cut the front off made it a little longer and fitted a BMW 850 flat two from a motorbike.

He also custom made the hard too as me mum was saying it's too cold to go out in it. ;)

Pretty happy with how this looks.

Used the hole press to do the dimples but turned the cutting die upside down so instead of cutting it produced this effect.

Then removed the inner plate that holds the door hinges and welded into new outer.
