Nice bead roller. Always look forward to updates on this build.
Re: migraines my wife had dealt with them for decades and not until she saw a naturopath and found out through blood work that she has some foods that trigger her migraines. I used to joke about her seeing witch doctors until the migraines stopped. Something to think about. :BlahBlah:
Back to the Torino thread. :cool:

Thanks for the sentiments guys, I just take each day as it comes, some are better than others.

I was able to get a few more hours in, almost all the rust is cut out now.

Putting in subframe connectors to hold it all together :lmao:

Fixing cowl, firewall and floor pans :bang:

Apparently I just gawk at other folks projects and never post any progress on mine. Maybe because I am always building pergola's our yard work?

I haven't got much done in a year, mainly because sheet metal work is frightening :superhack:

Jody really needs a MIG welder Smilie :mock:

So I had to go to the salvage yard because my trunk weatherstripping channel was rotted out. I found a 69 Fairlane which was helpful because it also had the tail light sheetmetal in it that I wasted a week on making and didn't get quite right.

I started with the passenger side that drops down along the trunk, tedious and stressful.

Then feeling confident I moved along to the driver side, but I found rust in the "so called frame rail".:smiley_smack:

I had to clear ou the rust in the rail. make a pattern and then a patch out of the salvage yard metal and by then I was concerned about welding that corner up without the trunk lid on...

So I did what any amateur fabricator would do :badidea: I moved on the the wheel tubs and left this for another day until I grew a bigger pair.

Since I had already cut the inside wheel well out on the driver side I started working on it. It was 40* in the shop so I got it tacked in place and had to quit. There was some pattern making I forgot to take pictures of during the deep freeze but I did get some pictures.

I did some measuring and I am confident I can get a 305/35-18 in here, Maybe a 19 if I find the right wheel that I like. I am kind of set on a "steelie" look..

Hopefully I can get back out the soon and do some more welding.

Joe

Good work, Joe! Keep it up.
