Default Major Milestone

Folks,

My good friend Gerald Longbottom, who is a skilled welder showed up for weekend, and it was extremely productive. First the hull was tacked together and measured. The frame was then properly welded together and then placed under the hull. The hull and frame were then bolted together using all the original bolt holes. The remainder of the weekend consisted of fitting and welding.

The result is truly impressive, not that I am the least bit biased. After a trip to visit our kids and grandkids, out west, the plan will be to remove the frame and have it sand blasted before priming and painting.

All in all it was a spectacular weekend.

Peter
