 He came in the week before and explained what he was looking for, he nixed the first design, it was more of a grasped hand… He wanted it more open, and that's what we came up with… Thanks Again Guys!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 UPDATE ALERT!!! What a day… Started in around 1030 and finished around 2030... Started the day getting the hood for the 90 model painted flat black in order to free up room in the shed to make further progress on the '65... Then decided to get the radiator core repaired and in primer… Gonna stretch this out over a few replies, so bear with me... Here are a few pics to get things going… The work area… The hood installed with the '65 patiently waiting… The hood installed...

 Inner Fenders are all welded and ground, waiting for me to finish prepping for primer...  …and along the way I reached a milestone… Killed my first roll of Welding Wire... Here's a pic of the empty roll just because…Thanks again Jeff daBears for the patch panels, I can finally call them installed...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
Finally…
For those of you who have just tuned in, or somehow or another missed it… The PO decided black paint with rainbow glitter was cool...  This is what goes through my head whenever I see any of that paint... The reason for this tirade… the idiot PO even sprayed this crap on the radiator support… After this epic day…IT IS GONE!!! Lastly… Had a chance to use my new to me Drill Press… Here it is near my wall of toys… small collection of Hot Wheels and such...  Hope you Guyz and Galz had a Great Easter!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
That pizza box did you up right !! That patch you made looks better than the one I did for that same area on my p-side inner fender, Rock on Man !!
You are going to LOVE that drill press, it really helps to step up your game I love Hot Wheels, and all the others like them, I got my first Hot Wheels set when I was 7 and it was the Snake and Mongoose special edition (sure wish I still had that !!) You may want to bite the bullet and get the 10lb spool of wire next instead of those small ones... I always buy two at a time because there is little more fustrating than running out of wire in the middle of a weld session, especially on a day or time the supplier is closed. Good to see some updates on your build man !!
