Spent a couple of hours pushing seven yards of A16 under the TIG torch, would have been more but a dearth of gas put paid to that, BOC for me tomorrow.
To see the evening out I roughed out the motorplate, oddly it all looks fairly good.

Did next to nothing today, spent some time getting to BOC, got a fresh bottle from the nice man there, got back ready to finish welding all that has been done so far only to find my helmet didn't want to play. I'm sat here now pondering how wise it was (n't) to try as many times as I did, TIG arc is VERY bright. I did fit up the seat uprights before seeking some darkness. The piece of timber is there while I look at the kidney upright position ( a straight edge passed over any two adjacent tubes should not be able to contact the seat) The piece of cardboard on the floor is a silhouette of the diff, it struck me that it would be a good idea to be able to get that back in between the tubes.
A16 is a medium carbon grade mild steel TIG rod

sorry.. steves email...hope it makes some kinda sense... i have just found the thread on the brockmobile... now that looks better.. i guess your still waiting to complete the block...is that one on hold then steve, while your building the slingshot???.. now then to say you have been busy is a bit of an understatement..  been very busy...lol.. on the altered have you though of putting a floor in as it could save you a lot of msa technical issues  as if its all sealed including the bulkhead it clears a lot of red tape on other things...  cheers mark maybe should have put this in the other post |

Hi Mark, glad you found us, expect an email soon re putting your car up. Mark is a fellow Pony Express owner, he has Mick's last car, a highly stylised "T" with an aero canopy, all in a rather fetching shade of red, other than the canopy that is. The altered is that tight I will struggle to put my feet in it let alone a floor, but I know what you mean. The motor's on hold for a while so we decided on something else to keep us occupied |

I know I've got photos of the Express at either the Hot Rod Drags or the Nostalgia Nationals. Just spent half an hour trawling through the Rally/Show Photos bit of the main site & can't find them. They're there somewhere. Welcome to the site Mark. |

Still a bit chilly to be doing much today and to be honest I need a day or so away from it

I couldn't get into it today and that shows on the weld at the bottom of the side plate. Time to go home and try again another day, I will cut this right out and clean it back before re-welding.
