Torchie, much as I hate to see you stop building, [temporarily, of course], I think you should follow your doctors advice, lay low and heal up. Get well soon. -------- But keep up the lively chatter, entertaining the guys.

Yep, what he said.

Tahnks Gang.
No worries on the Dodge.
I need more sheet metal. Also at the point where I need to be IN the car.
Getting in would be.......ok.
Getting out again could be.........Interesting.

Cleaned all the parts out of the Dodge.
I removed the center section of flooring and trimmed it down.
Put the center section back in and threw in the seat frame to get it out of the way.
This was yesterday.
Today I woke up to a very swollen right hand........Again.
I grow weary of all this nonsense.

[soltz]

Sorry about the hand
The Dodge is looking good [S

 

[Old Iron]

Nice progress.
Sorry to hear about you hand, I didn't know your it has swollen up before.

 

[Torchie]

Thanks gang.
OI. My right elbow/ arm and hand were the reason for the last hospital visit. They were do swollen that I could not move them.( Maybe i didn't mention the last hospital stay.
I can’t keep track anymore.
It seems the male family curse showed up. Gout. How can i have gout when i am hardly eating anything. Must be all the beer.

No pictures.
I tied down the springs on the Dodges front seat bottom to make it thinner.
Put it kn the seat frame but it is still too thick.

Out with the springs and in with the hi density foam when the time comes.

Pulled out the steering wheel and the dash today.
Drilled the holes to mount the firewall brake pedal.
I need to get a bigger hole saw for metal to drill the center hole.
Not much but it's some progress.

Thanks Gang.
Not much happening. Out of sheet metal as well as the funds to buy some.
Life gets in the way.

2 for 1 day today.
After messing with the cCaddy hood we turned towards the Mopars.
Went to work on stripping out the donor Dodge.
Quick and dirty.
I will continue to pull some odds and ends before it get removed.
We then drilled the MC hole in the fire wall on the Dodge Custom.
I also did a quick sipher on how much more sheet metal I will need for the floor.
Of course half a sheet is not enough and a full sheet will leave me with left overs.(As if there is such a thing as left over steel.)
Pics tell the story.

Great progress - you should make those cinnamon rolls more often!

 

[Torchie]

It seems no one wants to haul the donor Dodge to scrap.
Plan B is that Jon and I will cut it up into pieces and haul it there ourselves. Oy......
Like I haven’t enough to do already.
Keep on keeping on.....
