Took a couple of days off last week for the first time since October of last year. Got a much needed deep clean done in the shop and got rid of lots of stuff. Felt great.
Built a bunch of new storage stuff to hang on the walls a bunch of tig welded ****. Getting a little better on the TIG but still have a tough time feeding the filler and getting consistent results. I can fuse **** together and get halfway good results.
I have to give a shoutout to the twins, they have provided me with a ton of good parts for this old **** box.
Picked up a single round grille and headlight setup from them last week and went to town getting everything cleaned up, prepped and painted.
I would like to get the spring buckets zinc plated but my rebuilders cast is going to have to work for the time being.
I had a little snafu on the drivers side. The spring bucket hit the end of the filter so I cut a 3/8" out of the middle and TIG welded it back up. Turned out pretty good for thin sheetmetal but welded.
Built a new wire harness for the drivers side and got it all installed but have yet to drop the grille or passenger side headlight in.
Messed around with straightening a ****ty flathood saturday afternoon and did a little bit of bodywork on it on sunday. Its not going to be great but should be ok for the car. I am no bodyman.
Aside from painting and installing the hood, grille and headlights I am pretty much mechanically buttoned up. Waiting on the tuner at this point.
Happy Monday.
