    And i seem to be making headway. Not easy trying to figure all of this out. Looks rough, but the inside is just fine. Once i clean up spot welds and paint. Im thinking undercoating very light and satin black.

    I will say my hammer form is a success-ish. A couple test panels and im happy. Different approach next time, i will slice off a piece of tubing to make the radius.a little fine tuning on the panel after and body filler will be required.

    Yup. At that point i never cleaned up alternator,and put pulley on. My only concern is the smaller crank pulley. I still havent fired it, and i sold the car it was intended for. So now choices,Dart, Fargo or the Fargo i plan on building next winter.

    Morning! 4:00, sheesh. I gad an epiphony last night and now i want to get out to shop and see if it will work. I know it will, its a matter of getting out there and doing it. I need to form a panel, with a flange to fit cluster to dash. Not a square box like i was originally going to do...

    Morning! -10, but that nasty wind quit. Back on the instrument panel. I want to finish the hole in the dash so its similar to what it was before i trashed it. Try bead rolling a profile, or make a set of profile dies for the bead roller or the planishing hammer.

    Mandatory minimum is test drive with no hood and open headers. Did my buddy’s 70 impaler and the road test was in the evening. He lived 3/4 mile from me, he heard it :lol:

    Welding, like mechanic-ing takes its toll on a feller. I get what you are saying, im going to see if i can pedal it. Spent over 200 on the pedal and no clue if it will work. I guess setting the amperage on the machine will be the high limit? I dont think mine has the scratch start option...

    Its like the cable wants to point upwards no matter what i do.torch twists on the end, but switch is never in a comfortable spot. I may try my pedal, its supposed to work with lift arc.

    Tig welding, why do i punish myself? Lol! Biggest frustration is the cable, its uncomfortable, to twist it and have a good work position.

    I wont deal with msd anything. The plug wires aside, they are decent. Conventional electronic ignition is dependable and easy to diagnose, parts readily available. Thinking i want to try gm module on the 360 in the Fargo.

    Pizza and salad tonight. Kim found some frozen pizza that is pretty good. I really want to go back to shop and start on the cluster panel. Sad i need to cut the dash, but whatever needs to be done. Im thinking when Studebaker is done, i will start on the Dart.
