Progress at last
After my recent wonky spell, my build has remained untouched for the last few months
 At last, some minor progress has been made. Feeling well but still not able to do anything physical, my youngest son & eldest Grandson went out to the workshop to lend a hand. Here is a picture of the midway progress [IMG]  [/IMG]Under my supervision, the pair of them done a great job & my floor is now complete  My midset was, that somehow, I had cheated. Gutted that I was unable to do this simple job myself. Didn't have the strength to drill all of those holes, let alone pop the rivets.  I must say thanks to HandyAndy !! ( He changed my point of view ) The help I had, means that Three generations of my family have helped my build on its way..........How cool is that ?? The last job they done was to set up my weld table & comfy chair. Hopefully i'll be able to play with my new TIG welder & get my fuel tank made, that should be a nice sitting down job I'll post some pics of my progress as & when

 wow thats some rivetting  my arms were like "Popeye,s" when i did mine, 186 rivets really did punish my less than perfect musular build   .Yes indeed that is something to be proud of, 3 generations in 1 car . hope your wonky spell is on the mend. all the best mate. andy

Looking good there Ronnie.
Slow but sure gets the job done. Oh hang on a mo...The floor supposed to go on the bottom... Looking forward to getting back to my rebuild. Got loads of new stuff waiting to go on. Just a couple of bits I'm hoping to pick up at Exeter. Then I'm all done, and away..... David Last edited by dogwood : 17th November 2009 at 02:53 PM.

Oh Bo****ks, never mind, it'll do for a toneau cover Andy.........over 300 rivets, I have often been accused of overdoing it a bit with fixings......... Rivets are one of the main culprits
