To do list...

So, I had plans to go to my shop and work on lining up the rear fenders and doing some welding...however, my daughter has the flu and my wife had plans to be with girlfriends getting pampered before she gives birth in a couple of weeks...So i get to stay home...I had brought my gravel pan home and grill to paint and grind down all the SNOTT...this is what i get to work on today...







I really do like trying to make what i have work...its all about the pocket and change in the end...lets see if i can make it purdey...

A little transcendental metal work can go a long way - talk to it while working it - The metal will let you know what it needs.

Ha ha... I wish...the gravel pan was real twisted and beat up...I twisted it back and will weld the tear in the metal, i still need to sand blast the marker lights...the grill was also, beat to death...but with some weld build up and hammering...I got it back to close shape and smoothness...it looks good from far away...
