From the depths of the cob webs she arose. First time since beginning of January that I have had time to do something other than walk by her. She was so excited to see me with the tools and the welder she pee'd on the floor. Ooops, never mind, that was me not her.
I cleaned up the inner skin around where I added the fuel door, then I painted everywhere I could reach with some Eastwood, then sprayed rust converter where I couldn't reach for now.
Started making panels to fill in the inner wall of the bed. I got one two pieces welded part way in, then I ran out of gas for the welder. I cut the other inner bed wall panel and have it held in plce for welding later. Started to clean up the welds some, then I got side tracked because my compressor threw a belt and the engine pulley isn't locking in correctly. Hopefully I have ot fixed for now, but we'll see when I start giving it a work out later on.
Got side tracked helping a friend with his car (in our monsoon). Last think before clean up was making templates for the box/cover that will hide the fill tube. Templates are set, not to cut some metal and weld it up also.
It felt so good to work on here again. Hopefully after this month, I'll have more time on it since the wife and I won't be on the road so much.
OK my rant is done. Hopefully this won't sink to the 6th layer of hell again before I get to work on it some more.
