Glad I could help.

Mikey,

The workmanship on this build is a high level for me to strive for as a garage guy.  Your use of composites is expanding my universe and now I think about material other than metal when building.  Thanks, brother!

The body mockup looks great!    Glad to hear your team is increasing.

Geoff, the liner is on hold as of Monday. I need to get stuff done for people on the other side of the ocean. Salt fever can wait.

[revolutionary]

That sure is some special stuff!

[Finallygotit]

Salt fever can wait.

Blasphemy!!

[Stainless1]

maybe, but you have to make a living to satisfy the itch.  Unless you were born with a silver spoon....

A man must do what he promised.

I have good people waiting for parts and I don't want to disappoint them.

One week won't be that bad I hope.

You see, over here in South Africa we have something called a "Ja Broer" and translated it means a "Yes Brother".
Someone who says yes he will, can but does squat!!!.
I deal with them daily and hate them.
Worse than thieves IMO.

I don't want their disease.

[Tman]

Gotta pay the bills!

A man is only as good as his word.  A man's word is only as good as he is.

Remember when a handshake and a smiling look in the other guy's eye was enough?  I try to be like that now - and so do lots of folks.  Too bad not all of them do so.

Jon, you're so right on that one.

I can't go into detail but this thing is serious.

Someone turned my dream into a nightmare and I don't have an answer.

I did some work over the weekend and true to my word the long car hasn't had any attention since then.

Radiator mountings x 4 bonded and bolted.
The loose threads on the right side in the second pic are Peel Ply and it will be removed once I do the bonding.

I've still got to fabricate one side and a lid for the box.
Next weekend hopefully.

Builders who do all of their work with metal envy your skill.

The metal is fine but everyone wanna be able to do something new.

Then they compare the time for the learning curve to the time they

can do the job the old way and they stay with the old.

It seems to me that the preferred way to learn the new method is

to get a job that teaches you. Kinda gettin' paid to learn and then

run home and apply the new skill.

One thing about salt cars is that composite isn't really needed. Weight is.

Nothing to do with my project but amusing all the same.

I hear lots of chatter, wrenching, cussing and grinding coming from the next door neighbor's yard last weekend but its not my business so I don't investigate.

Today his dogs are going nuts so I take a peek over the wall.


Oh, so that's what he was doing!!!!!

[tauruck]

About a week ago a piece of steel fell off a peg on the wall and KO'd me .

Rookie mistake maybe!.

I had a piece of threaded rod between the tool chest and the wall I needed so like I've done many times before I got on my knees to reach in and retrieve it.
My only obstacle was an old fishing rod that was in the way.

I woke up with three Jack Russells running all over me, I was covered in the red stuff and my head hurt like crazy.
I know that it was the steel square that did me in because it was on the floor next to me.

Spent a day in the hospital  getting stitched up and observed.
Now I can move pencils by just commanding them.

All good now and back to work.
Thanks Buickguy3

Wow, the liner is exhibiting free will. It’s jealous you’re taking time out, so be extra careful.
Glad to hear your OK.

[tauruck]

Sage advice there Skip.

I'll have to check that out.

Thanks Skip, I'm OK.

When I was building the shop I had  2X4 jump off of a wall where I put it while I was knocking in a few nails... didn't knock me out, but left a mark  that didn't buff out.
I told folks I learned to do what Linda asked... 
it was easier than admitting being a little dumb
