I get the body back off the frame, sill transitions (A post to sill) welded in, and patterns made for wooden bucks for rotating the body on its side. Please visit my website at www.roundtailre...
Do you know what....I have always enjoyed your videos for the fact that you have learned as you go along with the project. You have always shown your work "warts `n all" as they say in the UK, when it goes not so well and how you have overcome this. You have done a tremendous amount of work and should be rightly proud. The video quality (not that it interests me more than the content) has also become so clear. I cant wait for you to be able to drive this and be able to stand in front of admirers and state " I did this" !
I appreciate that very much! As I do get closer, especially when the body was back on the chassis for the little bit it was, I've had visions of me actually driving her. I don't want to think about it too much because it is still a ways away, but it's going to be so flippin' cool!!!
You're really moving on, Chris. Maybe it's about time that i get in gear, otherwise you'll be on the road long before me! I have been having a period playing with lathes, black smith work and stuff like that.
That sounds cool. I've always wanted to learn how to work a lathe...can only imagine the stuff I could try to make. One of my kid's teacher is a black smith...also cool.
Looking forward to seeing the bucks; not sure if or how I'm going to do it for The Beast. I was worried you weren't going to finish those floor welds. ;-)
Ha! I'm just going to take a really bright light and go through the entire thing, filling in with weld metal (or fiberglass-enforced body filler, depending on the size) where ever light shines through!
