Default Clam shells on back burner.....

Sometimes there are just too many diversions....ah the spice of life.

Here are a couple of shots of what has got may attention for the next little while....Picked it up (dragged it up) with the use of a come-a-along and some rope....quite easy actually. Since it was laying on the ground after a slight tug from the truck. Just a matter of standing it on end and letting gravity and a bit of purchase do the trick. I am sorry I did not bring the camera....but here it is in the driveway at home. The neighbours think my wife is a saint.....I KNOW she is.

cheers for now.....

Mike, are there any good looking parts left at your secret source or did you clean out the pot of gold. As much as Bob is looking for 2B1 bodies as parts and/or patterns, I would be interested in finding a good 2C1 or later body (or enough parts to make one).

Yeah, Mike...I had a colossal brain fart when posting that. Was doing research for a 48th buddy and had 1 Div on my mind. A momentary lapse of two normally co-active nerve sensors, resulting in lack of cognitive reaction.

Am I forgiven?

Default Tailgate work...

I have been "scratch-building" a tailgate. I fitted it this morning before carrying on with welding the hinge pieces then the bottom and side reinforcement portions. Ran out of mixed gas for the mig and since it is a holiday the "air" store is closed...should be able to finish it off tomorrow and then start "throwing" paint at it.

cheers
