Dave,
You're right about the breezes, and the city of Houston being inland up the ship channel makes it the worst!! I spent about three years in Corpus Christi, and most days there we had an offshore breeze to keep things more tolerable. The thing I found I missed after a couple of years was the visible changing of the seasons. Having grown up Missouri it really messed with my body clock to not see the four distinct seasons, but I ran into a guy who had moved from Kansas to Corpus back in the 30's, and he said you couldn't pay him enough to go back to Kansas!! He loved the more constant temps.

Here you go Dave

Me neither!!! Think I'll stay with the aluminum sides!

Got one inner wheel well put together and cleco'd in place, the other side is together, just have to test fit it in the morning, then hopefully finish getting all the new metal cleaned and shot with some Epoxy primer, then the frame and body are off to the sandblaster!

Nice work on the sheet metal. I like bead detail on the inside wall.

Thanks Steve! Just a small set of step rollers but it sure adds a bunch of strength!!! Makes that .032" aluminum think it's a size bigger.... Also, might be a place for some very lightweight vinyl fabric glued to some equally thin and lightweight foam.........

Dave I think this method would help speed up the metal shaping.

Very nice, Dave! Is this going to be a keeper for you?

Dave the work looks great......I always enjoy watching a master at work.

Got a question on your big move to Texas. How much of your stuff are you going to be taking and how many Semi loads do you figure it will take

For awhile, nothings a keeper for me, everythings for sale...sometimes I'm just not real flexible on the price of stuff....but it's for sale! Thanks for the comments, sure am having fun putting this one together and looking forward to making a few passes in the car and doing some shows....

Dave, here is a pic. of the hood I was talking about. I don't think he used the ''Audi technique'' on this though.
