Meet the MLU'er from Eastern Ontario..
Thanks for the invite...I will ensure I do not plan anything for the day / evening of 6 April. If there is enough time to get the "gang" together. Bob mentioned it awhile back but it slipped through the crack in my mind. I will bring my hat.

Default Day 10 or 13 or ??? have lost count

I may have lost count , but there is still progress to report. I have added a couple of pics I took this afternoon....I have two more pieces to cut and bend to finish of the box, with the exception of the clamshells. I figure by end of Sunday I will be ready to paint.

Just finished sup so I will do a couple more hours in the garage tonight so I will give another update then.

Cheers for now..

Oh ya it started to snow again...

Default almost done.....Day.(?)..who cares

Well it is Sunday afternoon and I ran out of gas for the welder...When I mentioned it to my wife she questioned....figuratively or litteraly. I said the last....will have to wait till tomorrow for some more.

Could not resist putting it in place to see how it fits....Not bad...based on the feet and the rivets on the frame I suspect that there should be an spacer of some sort of anti-shock material to go between the box and the frame....I knew that old tire would come in handy.

for those of you so inclided Happy Easter, Joyous Paque and Frohe Osterne

Forgive my spelling.

cheers

Default It is finished (the box that is...) next Clam shells...

Well, I drove the body today and got all the last bits done....I wanted to get it painted but another Jeep nut dropped in and helped me finish off my red stuff....

So...I think I started 3 March....it is now done. I still have the clam shells to form but after sharing some grape with my friend and discussing the next endeavour he came up with some very interesting ideas....will follow up and let you know the outcome. Quite novel actually....something about corn husker drive shaft covers.....tomorrow I will be looking at what he was talking about....oh ya and meeting his father...a Spitfire pilot who was shot down 3 times....looking forward to that.

Here are the pics of the outcome of the past 3 weeks work....

cheers

Y'know, I'm happy to say you've adopted Donato's Theory of Moral Relativism - find the Wine Glass! Well done, sir, I had to hunt but I found it...
