July 7th- Welding in braces for the inner fenders
Welded in some supports and braces today. The vehicles don't have body mounts, they have braces that are welded from the body to the frame. Should prove to be a fun ride when we're done!
I also made some new supports for the wagon out of some angle iron we had in the shop. Cut them to length, drill pressed the holes, grinded them down and got them ready for some DP.
For the truck I held the support onto the body by using some washers, bolts, nuts and the original trim holes and then drilled through the body and core welded the angle iron to the sheet metal.
Getting a little nervous around here with the vehicles in the state they are, but we still have some time left and I'm still ambitious to think they'll both be done and beautiful on car show day.
