This being a long weekend in Ontario for most people except Post Office employees, I got some time to do some more work.

I started by building a small deck platform to the same external size as the chassis frame. Then I cut a bunch of small blocks and stops and created this chassis jig.

I still need to make another jig for the side of the chassis but that is a job for Tuesday night as the glue has to set up on this overnight.

I have a take off for the material and hopefully this week I shall be cutting stock and fabricating part of a frame. We suspect that the originals were produced using oxyacetylene welding. We will be using mig for ours. The last picture shows some if the ice damage caused where water go inside the frame.

I am dead chuffed with the progress.
