A small step for mankind...


.. but a huge step for me =) Last night I finally got the body placed on top of the pan. Most of the heaterchannels have been replaced, and it was interresting to see how they would match up. The meassuring during the welding seems to be pretty accurate. The holes in the pan and body aligned well. It was a heavy lift, but with good help from Oval 57 and Fürsten, we managed to drag the body onto the pan.

This was a critical milestone for me personally, as I had set a goal to complete the welding during 2007. With two small kids and not to much spare time, it was satisfying to come this far during 2007. It has been a long jurney of welding and sheet metal work, but it has been worth it. Now starts the funny part of the project, bolting all the parts together and to give the car the correct stance.

To day is also my birthday, and I could not wish for a better present =)
