Yak, yak, yak
Okay I was bitching and moaning about being really frustrated over something coming up over the month or two and not getting any progress on the coupe. I also posted that the weather was supposed to suck yet again this weekend. Everyone was really supportive, and I truly appreciate it. That support helped keep my spirits up, but alas, did nothing for getting work done.
Well now I gotta ask, who dunnit?! Done what? Why sent the good juju my way of course!! :yah Yesterday it kept getting dark and cloudy like it was going to rain. I didn't even try to roll anything outside for fear of having to rush it all back in. About 7pm I took one of the dogs out and noticed that while overcast, it never rained and the temps were super! Today began the same and I said screw it, let's do it (I'm just a poet that don't know it! hehehe). One time a dark cloud rolled over and threatened rain. I didn't care! I was well into a roll. I got the cowl all welded up and my son came out to help. I had him dress the welds and I started on rebuilding the upper and lower windshield opening corners. The bottom wasn't bad and only took a half hour or so. The top was total crap and had to be completely rebuilt from scratch. I had it about 2/3rds done when the wife had dinner ready. After coming back out I had several pieces left. The most complex area got all finished when I started to finally loose daylight. I was so thrilled with not only progress, but GOOD progress I stuck with it. I ended up welding and cleaning up the last piece with a work light in one hand and the welder of the grinder in the other! It was total darkness out when I finished and got everything picked up. As such there's no pics tonight, but I'll shoot some tomorrow when I get some daylight and put them on my build thread. I told the wife, screw it, I'm callin' in sick tomorrow (I usually work on Sundays with my current schedule)! I'm on a roll and gotta go with it!
Who ever sent me the good juju..THANK YOU!!! I certainly needed it!! :thu :thu :thu
