Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Well, it's been almost a month since I last updated. I suppose I should keep up with this eh?

Basically, I've gotten a little done on the car. I have the crossmember about done, just have to chip some slag and throw another bead over everything. It's a little bit off. I think I'm about 1/16th off center for the whole works. But, honestly, I don't think it's going to make much of a difference. These cars flex...ALOT. Hopefully not as much now that I have a subframe in it and such, but, yeah.

And thats about it. Ran into a few snags as far as personal life. School work, writing, and then family health issues popped up in the past 2 weeks. My mom just had emergency open heart surgery to remove a benign tumor that was in her heart. Apparently it was moving in and out of the valve, and blocking the blood flow. So, yeah. This thing was about 5.5 inches long...When the surgeon said it was the size of his fist, he wasn't kidding.

But, she's recovering well. Going to be a couple of months off of work, and limited movement and range of motion. So, now comes into play the fact that I'm going to school online and stay home. I can take care of the home and farm, along with my mum. So, my school work shouldn't suffer, neither will the livestock. I just may have to burn some midnight oil to work on the car. That's all.

So all, that's where it stands at the moment. I'll definitely get some pics as more gets done, and I'll keep you all posted.

-Sam.
