What did you work on today ?

----Assembled a really cool 6 foot tall cabinet (3 feet wide by 1 1/2 deep) and on HD castors. Polished stainless doors, and really pretty good quality. Company name is Seville Classics. For once the directions were pretty good (that was a surprise for me). Started about 2:30 as I had a doctors appointment in the morning and just finished about 20 minutes ago! Look 'em up, they are all over the internet. Got mine at Sam's Club for $199.....Bill S

Slow getting back to posting. Work has been progressing on the '68 Mustang at work.
I use drill screws to pull the toe board tight to the frame flange, so I'm not welding to air between.





Blurry pic of clamping the apron tight to the rail for welding.





I had to cut out a piece of the frame extension to slide the new rail in. The holes for plug welding are what was missing from the previous install. Not having a dozen welds to drill out made the removal easy, but there is a lot of structural strength here that was missing before too.





Another blurry pic, looks like the camera focused on the exhaust pipe...sorry.







Torque box that was installed. The flange was supposed to be welded to the frame too. It was barely tacked and then a patch put over it and welded to the torque box. I cleaned all the crap off and spent time properly fitting it to the frame.





Holes drilled for plug welding.





Welded to the bottom of the frame extension too.





Locating the new radius rod bracket for welding.





Rail replacement complete. New lower control arm, upper ball joint and radius rod bushings. I need to do that to the right side too, but AFTER I install the engine/trans. The left was a major fight with no weight to hold the body while installing the spring again.





Got the engine/trans in today and motor mounts and crossmember tightened up. Installing the steering gear, center link, idler arm, tie rods and that danged power assist valve and slave as a unit was a lot harder than taking it out !!

A week ago, I had a pad built for the new shed. Friday, I spent the day leveling it and setting the 4 skids for the floor frame and Sunday, built the frame and set the floor panels. 12X16, big enough to park one of my cars in, but it's for all my lawn care equipment that will fill it. I will section off a 5X8 corner for a potting shed.
