Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Did a wack of yardwork yesterday, but got the sides of the notch plasma cut.

Interestingly, the smoke detector in the shop goes berzerk when I'm plasma cutting. So I took it off the wall and put it in a cupboard. Where it still goes berzerk! Makes you wonder what you're breathing, eh?? I started wearing a filtered mask a whole lot more. My lungs feel better. Did I mention this??

Today I did a wack of surface prep so I can weld things together tomorrow.

Had to remove the crossmember immediately behind the axle so the side plates will fit. It will be re-installed....
