[Sam_Fear]

Always a surprise when you're welding. Just fill it back up when yer done.

 

[42chevy]

Real nice hole the lead left. You are doing great work.

 

[GJunktionMike]

Yep, start melting lead off and things don't look so good.

[Shea Laking]

CRAZY!!!!

Your kid gets mad when you don't wait for her to start working? You're the luckiest kind of Dad ever!

Lookin' GREAT so far! I was picturing leaning the rear edge of the sail panels ahead to line up when you lowered the roof... I like that you're stretching them out better.

Keep us posted.[[P

Regards,
Shea

 

[soltz]

In Deed

I like that safety yellow...with a flat black hood...and some faux construction lettering....

 

[soltz]

Torch what are you talking about [S

 

[sgtpontiac]

As Brian said to Peter on the Family guy.....

Torch what are you talking about [S

Brian: "Do you even listen to yourself when you talk?"
Peter: "I drift in and out".

Update on progress

As the tortoise said, "slow but steady wins the race"
It's starting to look like a chop something [S, had to go out and buy more clamps[

 

[Neverdone]

It has a neat shape!! Looks like it might benefit some from a couple floor pans...

 

[Dirtyrat]

You can never have enough clamps! Just ask Don!

 

[soltz]

Thanks

Neverdone, yes the floor panels are next, when the roof is back together it's body off and rotisory time.

Dirtyrat, clamps are so much easier to move than spot welds, learned that the hard way [S

 

[Torch]

Torch what are you talking about [S

It looks like it used to be yellow like a construction truck
I like the way they paint the hoods black on a service truck

 

[Old Iron]

Looks kinda like an operating room with all the clamps.
Doesn't take long to realize clamps and clecos move easier than spot welds.
