So, I did a little welding Saturday but just wasn’t feeling well. I did get the ends done so that it was self supporting.
The back end at the close out panel
The front flange at the Napoleon hat
Sunday and Tuesday Been working on the front quarter panel. The holes to drill out the spot welds were so large and my welding skills are well, I hesitate to call them skills, but it is slowly but surely coming together. It’s been a matter of weld, grind, brush, sand, repeat. I’ll continue tomorrow.

| Hi, great work. I am watching with interest as I am doing a similar project. Are you welding with gas? |
