Well done MASCAR and well-deserved Ryan Weaver (who is quite a good guy himself!)

Welding Wednesday was a bit frustrating.

The welds had porosity due to a shielding gas leak. We cut the patch we started back out and made a larger patch to be welded next time.

Sort or progress, but at least it is work on the car!!!

I also bought some vintage 1969 Ontario license plates:-)

So my Wednesday Welder is “out”

Things weren’t progressing as he planned so he backed out.

New plan OTW.....

Had a heart to heart with my hunny and We agree this is piss or get off the pot time!

Nov 17/18 is fast approaching so I have one local shop looking at my car Wednesday and a local fabricator looking at my car Thursday. Hopefully one is a good fit to do the minor metal work needed so I can get the body back on the frame!!!

I chatted with Terry RamblerDealer and Stephen Minore to get ideas and recommendations!! Thanks guys!!

So the last couple days have been fruitful.

Two shop owners have been in to estimate work on my car. Both I feel very confident could do the work.

First shop does all restoration work, so they could do the metal work and paint the bottom of the car as well as lower the body onto the frame to make a roller. Good rate, Good credentials.

Second shop does metal work only, good shop rate, Good credentials.

I gave a ridiculously detailed scope of work document to the first shop and I am awaiting an estimate.

The second shop gave an estimate on site which jived with what I have in my head.

I need to get the body back on the frame to progress!

I really enjoy this whole process and I am learning about cars, and about myself.
