Hi Rickomatic, thanks for the note. Nice to know people are watching/following along. I am getting going again now, but the temperatures are still too high. The sun shines through the plastic tarp covering on my garage/greenhouse, and it fairly steams in there! Went out this weekend and got parts cut out and welded on for my rear body mounts. This morning while it was still cooler, I hooked up my engine crane and lifted the body off of the chassis. Now need some muscle to help me stand it up on it's nose, then I'll weld up all of the sub-floor structure that I welded in place from the top. I bought an old used MIG 130 machine this weekend at a Friend's yard sale. It's an L-Tec Prest-O-Weld and works with either 110/220. It seems to work well although it's about 20 years old! I still have my little Sears 85 that runs on 110 only, and it does pretty good. On heavier work I use my Lincoln 225 AC-DC. Love that machine. Hang in, I'm in the MOOD again now for creating and building. perleyToo old to work, Too poor to quit.
