Tomorrow, I weld the two skins together once again, a little trimy trim, and I'll move on to the passenger's side.

Then it's the weekend! It's car time!

It's -15 here currently, the garage is a balmy 15 degrees....My air tools were not caring much for this cold. It was quite frustrating at times...

But I got a little work done. Not nearly as much as I wanted, but it's also really poorly lit out there right now; I would like the daylight to help when I begin welding. It's nothing but shadows currently. It was driving me bonkers.

Pics for clicks.

I trimmed the outer fender tabs off...That's about it.







Tomorrow I will weld the Bajesus out of it.

It's too cold to apply any coatings to the bare metal, but once I finish the mounting process, I'll go back and coat the exposed areas later.

Thanks guys, I hope to attempt to start it real soon...


If I can teach myself this stuff in my spare time, so can you. The biggest step is making the first move.



Anywho....Progress from tonight. Got a half day in. This side seemed to go a lot smoother now that I have developed a method.

Timmed.








Once again, I'm at a good stopping point for the evening.

Tomorrow, after work, I'll stick the pieces back together.
