So after getting an previous oxy acetylene welding setup and ruining a scrap door making an attempt to discover ways to weld with it, we have now formally began welding up our Cattle Chaser! Began with the nostril panel, there was a rusted spot which we lower out and tacked within the new piece of sheet metallic.

Afterwards, all of the gaps have been stuffed and the nostril panel put aside in the meanwhile. Subsequent it was time for that rear finish! 

I had the prospect to go to a good friend of mine over the weekend, who additionally has a very well constructed orange 02 that was on Leno’s present, and he was form sufficient to let me have a number of physique components together with a trunk which got here in actually hand when aligning the rear finish.

After aligning the rear finish, I began tacking the passenger facet down.

Then it was off to the driving force facet to let the passenger facet cool a bit.

Then again to the passenger facet…

And that is a wrap for at present!

It is truly beginning to seem like a automotive once more. So many hours of labor achieved and but a lot left to do.
