Hi Todd:
After several years of scrimpin and stealin, I finally got an oxy torch set up to do the body work on the Beast. There I was, gettin the metal all cherry red, then I took out my dolly's and little body hammers and started poundin away. After about 30 minutes of this, I discovered I hadn't done a thing to that metal. NOT A DAMN THING!
Then the brain kicked in. It's funny when that happens. All them cobwebs stirrin and all. Weird feeling. I flashed back to the old days, like when we turned a 57 Ponco Star Chief 4 dr into a 57 Chevy 2 dr. What did we use beside a whole bunch of lead????
Oh Yeah! A sledge hammer! I broke out my 3lb mini sledge, cherry'd the metal again, and damn, it moved, a little. I STILL have a bunch of work to do, and ya don't want to be close to me when I start swingin a hammer (maybe if I strap it to my hand), but at least there's progress now. So I know what ya mean. HA!
