Well, since the last update I've been on the couch for a week with the 'flu, which really
slowed down progress. Lost a few good days of time I could have used to bring the project
even further forward. This means that since the last update, I've really only had 2 days
to spend in the workshop, but progress has been made! The rear of the front arch is now
closed, and just needs a little spot welding on the inside of the edge. The rear arch
conversion is almost completed, again just some spot welding to finish it up. This arch
came out much better than the first, both cosmetically and structurally. Almost makes me
want to go back and redo almost all the work I did last year (note: almost, I want this car
on the road this summer!). Nest up will be the rear valance. This isn't as bad as the one
on the other side, but it's still pretty bad. Reckon it will take an evening or two to have
it done. Also need to do the lower arch areas, where I basically have nothing but the
freestyle work I did on the other side to go by. After that it will be back to the front
arch for some repair bits, then it's facecutting time again!
As a special bonus this time, as so many of my faithful readers have been requesting them
(well, not really, but I had to work it in somehow...), there are a couple of snaps of a lardy chap
in Jaguar coveralls. The chap in question is Mr. Rust, wreaker of havoc, cutter of rusty
metal, and welder of meagre talent.
