Well, I took a large step closer to finishing the hot rod this week. My friend Ken from Van Grouw Welding in Wyckoff, NJ showed up this week and welded in the plates for the roll bar. Quite an event; trying to line the bar up, keep it square and level while tacking it in place. Once the plates went in we removed the bar and Ken finished the welds. Next week its off to the interior shop to finish up the door panels and then the big day (hopefully by months end) we can lower the body back on the frame and finish final assembly. Here's a shot of Ken welding and fitting the plates, little tight back there and difficult to see, no?
