hi bob ,great to hear from you. tim ,not polite to laugh at other peoples work. just kiddin. nice to hear from you how are you doing. any progress on your neck ? this getting old thing is tough. daniel, i have finally got the aluminum solder and tried it on .025 aluminum.that is what i want to use to do an aluminum body. i am very happy with th results.it solder very nice. it is realy strong. i filed and hammered the solder to the .o25 ,same as the material and it was just as strong as the the base metal.as you can see i bent and rolled the material on the solder and it was as strong and as flexable as the the rest of it.great stuff . cant wait to finish the 32 and start on some practice body parts. i have spent many hours tig welding and gas welding aluminum . i think when you solder this you should be sure not to cool the material after solder in any way. dont even let air from a fan blow on it. if you let it cool on its own it will anneal the material and it will be softer and more flexible. i hope this will help you .i rolled the piece and then flattened it out with no problem. also i have been working on the front suspension, its coming along well. hope i have enough room for a radiator.

nice to here from you ian i have been following your current build . hello jim thanks for looking and commenting. pictures of the shocks almost finished,a little detail and anodizing. continuing on the hood. so many engine parts in the way. but its getting closer. leaving the weber out there in the open.this is more work than a 1 to 1 car.

hi francisnice to hear from you ,cant wait till you start machining aswell. always fun to see. andrew i think maybe a window on the bottom of the bell housing. dave , you tube for the anodizing, great source. thanks for your kind comments bill. rattlecan dan, i ordered some soldering wire for aluminum and should be making an attemt next week . i will post pictures nomatter how bad they look. started and finished the rear shocks. they are better i think than the last ones. felt like playing with sheet metal today so i started on the hood. not sure what the final hood will look like just going with the flow. alot of things in the way. happy st. patricks day
