    Your determination impresses me. Your welding will improve when you learn to control the puddle. Even so, you get the job done. Good luck on getting it together. The secret to being successful at anything is never giving up. Never.

    Last update for next few weeks. Project 49 goes on hold, cause I want to work on my other car. So, to be satisfied from all that previous work I wanted to finish left side (at least without A pillar- I dont want to cut roof in half without welding up all other pillars from right side). So I started with finishing up rear window frame IMG_20180519_104753.jpg

    After some grinding I went back to B pillar. I made it some time ago, but welds weren't smoothed and there was about 35mm (almost 1,5inch) after relocating upper B pillar in roof. I've managed to salvage roof profiles from red car roof. After cutting required part of channel I've realized that its rusted out. When I was wondering what to do next our friend George came by and sed "why don't You make it yourself?". Of course he was joking, but I took it seriously- why I dindn't think about making one?! So I've made it IMG_20180519_115436.jpg IMG_20180519_115443.jpg IMG_20180519_115800.jpg IMG_20180519_130553.jpg

    In meantime we've managed to invent a new way of this very heavy paper weight usage. It streches those Chevy springs like noone can IMG_20180519_130522.jpg
