Well progress has been slow as its been pissing down since monday
I did get to make some engine mounts last night though
, I made the basic shape a while ago but the customer didn't like them so they ended up on the parts shelf 
, Which make them handy for this project 
I wanted them to look old so decided to attach them to the frame with castle nuts and used Early Ford engine mounts
.

Heck Steve, the customer didn't like them,so what did he/she settle for in the end??? And, if that is your plain old mig welding finish on those mounts,I definitely need to go back to welding school. And and as brother Don says, I just find it impossible to except that this is a cheapie quick rough build. Yeah Right!!
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Whip the customer said they were too flowery (I thought they looked like crowns) so i redesigned them and he liked them
, Pics below
No mate that is untidy TIG welding, I was given some Ceirated Tungstens to try out so tried them where it wouldn't show, I've gone back to my thoarated tungstens now as i wasn't keen on the way they welded.

Oh c'mon Steve........the guy at the welding supply shop says the ceriated is "just as good as the thoriated". And without the radiation!

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Bob i tried them on stainless and steel, On stainless they seem ok but still not as good as the thorated, don't know why, maybe they need more shielding gas ???

Well it stopped raining for a while so i cracked on with the rest of the engine mounts, I didn't want the motor high in the rame so used alternative mounting positions.

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.
