"Strong like bull"

The new trunk was placed in, taken out, placed in, taken out, over and over again. A cut here, bend there, try the fit again. Once we looked everything over twice, maybe three times I spotted her in there. Making little spot welds held the trunk in place and I went back to weld the necessary places to cement the pieces.

Once I grinded the spots down smooth we cleaned them off and threw some primer on there. I came back the next day and found a couple other places around the butt that needed more welding that I never finished before. I'm very happy that this section of the car seems to be complete for now and we can move on from here.

Hmmm Hot Chocolate... and the final frame weld

It's cold, and there isn't any way to change that... Sooooo, a little hot chocolate down the tube and everything gets a little warmer... for a minute. Mission trunk completion is nearing the end. The frame is supported, welded, grinded, undercoated, and set for the actual trunk. The hours spent on this section is a mountain tall if stacked, but the ending result will make it worth the hassle we encountered.

I'd like to take a moment to remember my beloved contact that was destroyed during the weld. Just collateral damage I guess, but it sure made it difficult to weld straight the next hour +!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
