If the spot-welded tab was redesigned just a little, I could have made this much more quickly with long, straight cuts on the shear. However, with the way this tab curves up, cutting that top edge was alot tougher. I briefly considered making it the easier way, but that&#39;s not the way we do things here - we do it one way - perfect.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All Series 1 Fixed-head Coupes have this panel right behind the seats, this one was fabricated for an early LHD flat-floor coupe in Germany by special request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":538,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allposts","category-custom-panel-fabrication"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":693,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334\/revisions\/693"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.monocoque-metalworks.com\/main\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
