a quick breath

Stopping and looking back. It's been a month since I started fabrication on this thing. I have gotten a lot better at welding, but I would say that my biggest issue is getting the pieces cut right. My Harbor Freight Chop saw is not a precision instrument and I have to cut long and grind to fit. I also need to figure out my tube bending. I may get a bender this weekend and this will be a moot point, but if not I think I'll be back at HF buying something.

I still have the donor dis-assembly ahead. Some of that is going to be fun, but I don't expect it to be smooth. I can't remember the last mustang I disassembled.

Overall I am glad I started this. It keeps me busy and it is a constant source of fascination. I find new and cool sites all the time that are related to Locosts or car fabrication in general. I'm going to spend a few minutes and update the site. I have a lot of bookmarks that need to be organized.

I won't be getting much done this weekend since I need to go to Portland for a family affair. I need to get actual pictures of the frame up here soon.
