    Ok guys sorry for the delay on updates. We had an upholstery class as well as a custom paint class this semester which took time away from the 34' but I enjoyed them very much!

    Next was the passenger door skin. I wanted to see if I could finish without a grinder or pick & file. I spent more time getting a good fit which helped a lot, very little filler rod, .035 might wire for filler. Only hammer & dollie & shrinking disc & 80 # on a block to show low spots were used. It took forever! But I feel like I learned more about how metal moves doing it this way than anything I had done previously 20160329_135946.jpg 20160329_135946.jpg 20160401_101902.jpg 20160401_102052.jpg

    School's over now. Last day today.
    So the 34' is getting put on the back burner for a bit.
    Shooting to have the 39' ready for the Hill Climb in Colorado now.
