I haven’t been out in the shop since the middle of November last year.
I must be getting old, because I remember shoveling snow out from under
my ‘51 Ford Sedan to work on it. I’d just pile the snow up in a wall
around the bottom to keep the wind out :) now I don’t even go into the shop if it’s too cold. I think this summer’s project is going to be some sort of heat source. Anyway, when I left off with the ‘58 Viking chop, I only had 3 of the posts welded together and the cut on the driver’s side roof for the stretch still needed to be filled in. I’ve been able to spend a couple of hours during each of the last two days on it and I’ve finally got the 4th post welded solid and most of the roof filled.

If all goes well I’ll start on the doors next – but tomorrow I start
a couple of weeks of night-shifts at the plant and that adjustment
usually kills any home projects for at least a week or so.

While
I was out there, I finished the welding cart. It’s only been 15 or more
years that I’ve been lugging that thing and it’s tank around. The paint
is still tacky, so I’ll post a pic in a couple of days when I get
everything on it. Now I’ve got to make something for the Oxy-Acetylene
set-up, but no rush ;)
