It's weird, I'm still not use to having a torch... I always forget when I'm breaking loose bolts. But it normally works wonders.

Wow, Saturday was one of those days. I was building the firewall jig piece and it turned into a whole day ordeal. The 1.25" pipe wouldn't slide into the 1.5" pipe. Also took me a while to figure out why everything wouldn't square up, but I finally got it. Modified an old light stand to hold an extra fixture. Turned out nice...   Replaced the belts on the compressor, that was a $60 bill...  Firewall jig...  Getting ready for the first sheet metal order. It should get me through phase 1 which will get everything solid between the fire wall and the back of the floor pan. |

All my stuff came from Ausleys Chevelle parts. Most was Dynacorn. Very good fitment ! Oh and it's a Chevelle not a Nova. Where did you get your dynacorn parts from? |

Afraid so Mike... Tomorrow night is shop night!  Home made rub!  My favorite, Spare Ribs! A bit more cumbersome to cook, but have the best flavor...  |

And the inner and outer rocker are out... The plasma didn't like the 1/4" of bondo in the quarter...  Not much left.   Missing something?  Just threw this up there, I still got a lot of cleaning/grinding to do before I mock it up.  And for the front dog leg. I have a surplus of band aids...  On a positive note... I got grandpa's old compressor plumbed up.  25' of 3/4" main line should help the air cool "some" before it reaches the first filter. Drains on all the verticals, reduced to 1/2" feed, 40 micron filter for air tools, and then a 5 micron filter that feeds a .01 micron for sand blasting and paint. I got to add some manifolds and I'll be done.  |
