Re: Grizz's Redneck Express 1966 Chevy Short Fleetside RESTO-GO!

So door number two.

Made one small cutting error, thankfully on a 50mm by 700mm strip, so easy to cut another.



Got as far as this, when rain stopped play outright.

A great excuse to put everything away.

Next few hours rain, but at least I got this far.

Only the smaller, complex section to engineer in.



Later, the rain kinda let up for a while and dragged myself away from YouTube where I have been binge watching Peter Santenello travelling the world.

His style is travel/people/documentary and the great thing is that he lets people talk and tell their stories, getting into many lesser known communities.

So I opened up shop, pulled the Canta halfway out the carport, turned on some lights as the clouds obviously darken things.

And proceeded to cut and fit the last piece on the door.

Happy with that.



And completed with both doors open.

It is coming together now that all the interior surfaces have the same hue of rusty patina brown.



Closed up shop, and my helpful assistant, QA agent was thankful because it meant dinner for him.

He had been hanging around all day.



Came in, fed George and chatted with Craig in Shropshire while preparing some handmade meatballs that I cooked and took to Sallys for a spaghetti and Bolognaise sauce dinner.

Sat there and did a quick edit of the stuff I recorded, including dropping 47 minutes of getting the big section glued in.

Today I am going to attempt doing the roof lining.

ALONE…..

Wish me luck.

Sun is out at least, so should be a good day.
