Went over to Stuarts this morning,He is smoothing out a 35 Ford cab. Pretty solid piece but a lot of cracked interior brackets. 

 My plan was if I kept my eyes open,listened and kept my mouth shut I just might learn something! Well I did that and he took out some big dents and I handled the torch well he shrunk the metal. It turned out well and next week when some sills arrive we will "he will" put them in. All in All I am happy and learned a lot.
In my career I was an aircraft structures guy  but never did work with steel always aluminum,so this was a great experience for me. Now at least I know which side of  the dent to put the dolly and  Hammer on.


 Went to the Fords and Friends event today,Low and behold Stu brought out his Ford.
Not sure how he keeps it so clean but it sure is nice!

Just on the HAMB and am looking at a Smith Jiggler with a small SCOT. here is a nice dual adapter for something like that and moves the carbs back a bit  and much lower than the old Almquist style.
