Update #41
The side body mounts are done. My annular cutter showed up on Thursday so I was able to put holes in the skid plates. I tried with a hole saw but it didn't work out so good. I'm really digging this leather welding hood. It's so much easier than welding with a mirror.
Earlier I mentioned redesigning the front fender. While I was waiting I cut a huge wedge out of the stock fenders. Managed to get them squeezed in and welded. For anyone working with body panels I highly suggest a pneumatic angle grinder. For me it gives me more control and is able to remove minimal material on sheet metal. Excuse my shitty paint job as it's not a big priority for me.
In other news, Papa Elon came through with a bonus and a raise so hopefully I'll have this thing drivable by the end of the year.
Thanks for checking out my build.
