Phase 2 - Week 2
Have started the second phase of the restoration of my F8 by beginning construction of the tool boxes. Have taken a different tack by first making a frame of 1 1/2" steel angle iron and strap to form a more sturdy set of boxes. Below are the pictures of the frame.
Bob, my welder, is going over to the metal supplier tomorrow and pick up a 12 guage sheet of steel for the skin and use their hydraulic shear to cut the pieces needed. They're charging us $50 an hour to use the shear......
Regards,
Jim
