This encouraged me to look at your previous two pictures again. Is there a hole in the side of the backbone about a foot from the 'T' section? Is that typical? If so, you'll get a lot of use out of your new welder!

Keep up the good work!

Proper progress. Nicely done.

The Twin Cam plays the symphony whilst my right foot conducts the orchestra. At 3800 rpm the Mad Pipe Organ joins in.

That's looking good, Turbo!! It's an early step but bigger than it might seem. Now you can start hanging things off the frame!   :beerchug:

The main reason for taking the whole car apart, to repair chassis, is complete   :welder: :pirate: :beerchug:

Let the reassembly fun begin!!

Decided to put another coat of paint on chassis this past week to better preserve it.
Figured out coolant tubing lengths and angles etc. Chased all the threaded holes in the chassis .
Decided to put the rack on it to see how much extra access I created ....

That looks like pretty good access to me, Turbo. Hopefully, you'll only need it once but if not, you'll be glad every time you take it out and put it in!

That brown truck that my dogs bark at like it's their mortal enemy dropped off some goodies today....

I may need to put a 240V outlet in the garage to handle the aluminum welding amperage....or I could pull the stove out and weld in the kitchen... ::) think my wife would notice... :o ?

It's always fun to get new toys! These will be great fun! I don't know your wife but I'm guessing that putting 240v in your garage would really contribute to marital harmony!

Have fun with your new toys! Show us all the cool stuff you do with them.
