Here are a few things I have been working on....Admittedly, I am not a TIG welding professional, but I'm improving. Be nice!
That's me using a plasma cutter to make a big ass hole in all that nice work that Fran and the gents at his shop put together.
The reason I cut a bunch of crap out was so I could get the heating and air unit a couple inches higher making foot and leg room a little more accommodating for my wife or any other passenger (could have left as is). Note, this is not done yet.
Here I am making a faux oil tank to cover the battery and to look like original. Still need to finish up the filler neck. Welds are not "perfect" so I'll probably grind and run more beads in some areas. I have especially difficult time doing the inside of the 90 degree corners for some reason. Drives me nuts! It is fun doing this sort of thing though, and with more practice, it'll be fun and look great to boot.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
