I like the idea of your daughter wanting to help. I hope she might want to know how to use the welder, she’d be the only one in her class with that skill!!!
Thanks for saving another classic!
What condition do you think the engine was in? I noticed it was it complete.

Thanks 68Gold/White! I plan on trying to teach her to weld, but I need more practice myself. I am all about teaching the kids to be self sufficient and not having to rely on paying others to do things... if possible.

Cheers-

So, in an earlier post there were some photos of the area in the cab's passenger door opening where there was some rust-through and the metal did not fit well. I have gone back and welded up those areas where there were holes due to the rust through and re-worked the area where the metal did not fit together properly.

The other photo here shows the drip rail after I removed the seam sealer and had fixed a dent in the roof just above the drip rail.
