We have been making some small progress between customer work and machine building. Ethan is here and that makes a lot of things go faster. We have been adding the body mounting flanges to the edges of the bulkheads, drilling the panel mounting holes and finishing the .100" 3003 aluminum floor pans and firewall and practicing our bead forming and aluminum TIG welding. Getting started on the intake runners and the exhaust system.
Can't put it off much longer, will have to learn gas welding aluminum at some point to get the .060" body panels in shape to be mounted. Not many panels will require welding (on purpose, LOL). Primarily the panel just in front of the steering wheel, and the nose and tail sections.
