Those are some pretty slick fittings Bob.


Thanks.

Thanks. I’ve actually made some split tubing joints similar to this in the past (the non interlocking ones). I may just get a pair of these for the transmission crossmember mount. Thanks again!

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I’ve been meaning and wanting to post some updates, however there just isn’t anything too substantial or interesting to post really. I’m still plugging away at it, it’s just taking longer than I’d like for good visual progress. Add in the busy holidays and I just have nothing to post yet.

I’ve been wanting to post some progress pics, but the hassle of transferring all my pictures from my iPhone to my laptop in order to resize and upload is my deterrent. I haven’t had luck converting the images directly from my phone.....any tips or tricks that would help streamline this process for me? Thanks

For android I use a batch resize app. Share pics I selected from gallery to resize-mypics. Then resize them to 800x and use sharelink program to send them to laptop over wifi. A dozen pics takes less than a minute for the whole process.
I'm sure there must be something similar for iPhone.

Ask a teenager for help. Maybe there is one that needs some auto body repair on their ride.

I am one who also went through this entire thread and look forward to your updates.
