Of Wizardly Welding and more of Dad's fine painting

Remember the last post about getting help from my friends? 
Dad's good friend Jim is a very accomplished metal fab and welder and his skills have been much appreciated on many a project for our family.

Dad had some scrap lying around - we just needed to cut it to make some of these brackets

A few holes and I think we'll have it...

Not sure if I showed these pieces before - but they are part of the windshield support structure and had broken cleanly in the seam - with Jim's help, they're whole again

And the other side - smooth and load bearing

Remember the top of the dog house? Here is the underside with more of Dad's good painting

Remember that little clearance problem with the gas tank cap? Here is the notch Neil routed out and that shall fix the problem

More wizardly welding - the windshield had broken around the center line and needed to be repaired - thanks to Jim - we're a few notches closer to a finished restoration.

More to come!
