Still not started the frame

So its December and I've still not started the frame. Its not what I'd hoped for. I was hoping to have at at least started to tack the frame together and there would be some progress.

What I have done of late is buy a lot of the steel. I bought what I think is all the square tubing I need and most of the steel plate. I'll still need some round tube but that will be a while off still.

I found a shop crane on sale. I'll need to put the engine in and out a number of times so rental would not work too well. I also got a self storage unit (I had to bring down the shed I built... don't ask) so I'll need to crane the engine and subframe into and out of the truck at home and the storage unit. I can justify just about anything.

I'm hoping to have a few weeks off over Christmas where I plan on getting some progress.

I finished another welding course last week which went well (not to brag but I got an A). I really enjoyed it. It was an arc welding course. I start a MIG course in January. The school also offers an advanced arc course and a TIG course. I might take those one day but the MIG should be enough for me to finish the car confidentally.
