well yesterday we got the head light brakets made up and welded to the frame gives it an 1800's kinda look. the body is thin steel so making body mounts comes next using light weight angle, mig that to the sides of the body set at the lowest heat setting then drill and tap the frame then i can start the body work filling holes from the old handles and the trimm prime and paint. getting there everyday
