Finally started

I spent 2 hours with the pile of steel and the chop saw yesturday. Got the base of the chassis all cut out. Today (Sunday the 25th) I intend to get it tacked up and the top and rear section done.




Stay tuned for more news and pictures later.

Of course, productivity will now slow down as I prep donor parts and await Darren at GTS....

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I just got my table built.. Only to have my father nail down a warped, nasty piece of 8x4' plywood saying it'll "Flatten out." Yeah right dad. With cars and design/fab issues, he's usually 100% dead on. This time he buggered up.

I'm getting a new piece of 8x4', and getting started on the frame this week. Hopefully i'll get some pictures up soon!

And good job on yours!

Can't wait to start

I have had a pile of parts from my donor sitting around for the last 1 1/2 years. I can't wait to get a chance to get a welder and some 1" tube. Hoping to be able to get this stuff soon.

I scored my welder at a garage sale. It is a Matco MIG welder, came with a tank, cart, helmet, regulator.. Basically everything i needed for gas-shielded MIG welding. I paid $300, then took the tank and got it filled for $27.

Keep your eye out, and if you know somebody that goes to garage sales often, tell them to keep their eye out too.
