now i can snap the lug wrench handle in place, the 3/8's drive socket holds it really well.

^^^Still trying to decide what to do on it, not sure if I should do some more diamond pattern on part of it or try something different...

I built a flat recessed dimple die. Just used a peice of 1-5/8" OD tubing welded it to a peice of flat square1/8" thick plate that had a hole drilled in the center. On the backside of the plate I welded a nut. Then threaded a bolt up through. The bolt will help keep everything centered when you put it in tne hydraulic press. I stacked some washers inside the tubing to get the desired depth. You probanly could just tje tubing shkrter bjt i had the washers lying around and was too lazy, lol.

its crazy how much the speed holes and the 90° bends stiffened up the sheetmetal. Im getting some ideas for the center console and shifter surround.

it's pretty impressive how much rigidity the holes and 90° bends add to the sheetmetal
