    I would get a longer level and keep checking it to make sure it's not setteling in the dirt before final welding. It does look like a good start, what's the plans for the rear fenderwells ? I see they are in the stock shape but raised to the body line allready.

    The outdoor pictures remind me of my hot rodding days.........pre1965(the year I got my first garage/shop). After working in my shirt sleeves (inside a warm shop) when it was -10 outside I became spoiled. Moving the thermostat up a few degrees sure beats trying to move frozen stiff fingers.

    Go, man, go! You are carrying on a fine tradition (building outdoors), you're really old school!

    Good Luck!
