Prep work

It's been a while since I created an entry. There's been no move on the construction of the car. I have my excuses!!! We were away for a couple of months back to Australia and Western Canada visiting family. And while there has been no move on the actual car there's been prep work going on.
- I did a big clean-out of the garage and put down an epoxy floor coating which is really nice.
- I've constructed a good workbench. And surrounded it with peg boards
- I've modified some shelving in the garage to be supported from the ceiling to remove a support that was in the way
- I build a small shed outside our house to get a few things out of the garage, however the shed is now "under review". One of my neighbours complained to the City. City now says I need a building permit. Not sure why as it is very small... but watch this space as I can see it becoming an on-going saga.
- I've bought the material for a construction table but yet to be put together... hopefully this weekend.

So once the construction table is done I'll likely order steel and get started. I've been doing another welding course at the local technical institute and its getting a lot better.

Hopefully early November I'll order steel and get the construction going. Looking forward to having some visible progress.
