I haven't updated in a while, but I've been working on it!

New threads

I won't lie, I was very impressed with myself after that. Welding with gas is fantastic! I've never made welds so nice. Remember, I'm a complete beginner....
Put some bracing in
Welder is turned all the way up, wish it went a little hotter for the 1" square tubes
Yikes!
Drilled out the outer cowl
Then the inner wings/kick panels. I'm going to have to graft bits of the a pillars from the parts cab.
