FRONT SPRING PERCH GOT BUILT TONIGHT.
After work I went to the shop and started cutting out the pieces of steel for the front perch . I used a section of C channel for the top, and cut off one leg, and then I cut two side pieces that cradle the tubular crossmember. My Son showed up, got involved, helped me prep the parts, and then he did the final welding.
We still have to weld it to the crossmember, but since it is 2 AM and we just got home, that will have to wait until tomorrow night. It looks pretty good, and is really strong, so it should work fine.
Here are a couple of pictures. The first 2 are of the cut out steel pieces, and the other two are shots of the perch mocked up on the crossmember.
Since I get up at 6:15, morning is going to come really early tomorrow, but at least one more step is done on the T.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
