OK,
Day off today, my season is just starting (Golf in Florida) as the temps have finally dropped, hell it got down to 68 degrees the other morning almost a cold front which means the garage only gets up to 90. October for me has been a reorganization month in the garage to get my White 75 placed in another garage so that I can spread things out and have some working room. That said and done, I now have my garage in a position to work, just cut out the Driver's side Cross Brace that was heavily rusted and have fitted up the Restoration Design replacement piece. I also fitted up the drivers side floorboards, I have more trimming to do to the old floor pan to get things in a position where I can use Clecos to fit them properly. I was also able to pick up a Miller TIG Welder and I need to get up to speed on it, I do not have a 220V feed in my garage so I have moved my Hurricane Generator in place to power that thing from outside the garage. I have several areas on the car that I believe will benefit from TIG rather than MIG as the heat from MIG causes alot of Blow through and warping. So today will be a day to learn my new/old used machine and trim the rest of the old floor pan out, I may even get something welded today. Photo's of updates forth coming. Slowly moving forward!
