Old Top Sections on the New Side Panels
More progress; both the old top sections have been sand blasted and welded to the new side panels. The lead from the old seams flowed out like water when the wire-feed heated up the old seams, but the spot welds held and the tops are on. The old trim strips down the center of the tops held enough water over the years to cause a few rust holes, but it should all be fine with a little more work. Maybe the bottom will go on tomorrow.
