12/18/07: Javelin hood time again


Latch installation time - it might be a good idea to see if things line up. Out to the back shed to drag out the Javelin hood, freed up the seized hinges (sure one of the springs popped off and nearly missed hitting my head) and with Rick F's help, got it installed. Pretty close, don't forget to keep 3 1/4" between the radiator core and bottom of the lower arm of the latch bracket. And, believe it or not, my fabrication was right on the money! Lucky...
P.S. It is snowing like hell outside. This could be a distraction.



Hood up!













Hood down, time to plow again and rake the roof(s), YUK!!!

Finally Welding

Welding finally started this Sunday, this hack job may work afterall. The Javelin roof brace fit pretty good after it's "bow" shape was modified between the weight of the owner and the concrete floor. Welding at the posts isn't very pretty because I'm trying to fill in the gaps between the AMX & Javelins cuts. That's why we have grinders.
