Finished up welding the patches on the left rear fender and put the first coat of filler on it. Will take it into my workshop in the house and finish up sanding when the weather gets colder.
Got a new welding helmet that has automatic darkening. Should have gotten one of these to start with. It's a middle of the road Miller. Works great.
Had Dean Long come help me put the passenger door on so I could see if the bear claw latches I have will work. Looks like the pair I have will take too much reworking of the door. (they were given to me so not out anything). Found some made to fit bolt in's on line that look great and easy to install, but the $350 price tag says we will stick with the originals.
Started taking the drivers door apart so I can sandblast it. I spent three hours getting one of the hinge pins out. It was thoroughly rusted in. I beat, chiseled, beat,(a few expletives here) and finally drilled the pin out. Also got the glass and wing window out. Got to figure out how to get the door handles and window roller handle off so I can get the rest of the mechanism out. This door is in pretty good shape. Needs one small patch at the inside bottom.
The new electric heater I bought looks like it's going to work out fine. It was very comfortable in the garage today. We'll see what happens when it really gets cold out.
Ordered a 25' roll of MSD sparkplug wire and end fittings today. The routing of the plug wires wasn't working out the way I had routed them around the Ram Horn exhaust. I needed three longer plug wires so had to go this way. Should be a lot less noticeable with the new routing.
Yo the lowly turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks it's head out.
