It's cool and no wind.
Time to get some grinding done, and finish welding the top bows.
Ground off virtually all the galvanizing.
I've got a couple of ends yet to cut off and round.
Getting real close to welding the top bows to the lower frame.
A 'BIG' step. If it's too soon, I can make the project much harder.
This part will become, heavier, (maybe 6-7 lbs @ this point), but mainly bulkier to handle.
For a one man project, that is a constant concern.
Another thought
Do I want to apply the sheet metal, with the top on the car,
or do I want to apply it, while it's off the car.
On the car, it's secure, but some of it will be hard to get too.
Off the car, not so secure, but easier to get to some parts.
Trying to visualize the steps required, and in which order, is only one of the many thought processes,
involved in building this type project. Especially for someone that's never done this before.
