I've been working slowly on my build.
- I decided that the body was sitting a tad too low. I raised it up by 1 inch to create more tire room and so that an old school engine with a Carb would fit under the new hood bulge. This took more work than you might think. It required cutting away the flanges that I molded to the frame and doing them over!
- I completed welding of the frame. There are a lot of pieces and joints. Welding took me 2 full days.
- Then I cut and fit the aluminum skins that seal the body, flow the air out of the radiator, and form the foot boxes.
- Then I painted the frame. I completed that this morning. In a couple of days I'll rivet the aluminum panels to the frame. Then starts the build!
