He he he. Since today is my anniversary, I figured it was a complete bust for working on my car. SWMBO is very understanding, but she ain't THAT understanding. So, last night I worked late and finished every bit of welding and grinding on the car. So, in total I have:
1. Installed 1 new rear frame rail and torque box.
2. Installed new trunk floor on driver's side.
3. Patched rear inner wheel well (cut what I needed out of a new Ford piece).
4. Patched floor pan under driver's seat support.
5. Replaced driver's side Convertible Brace.
6. Installed new TCP convertible Subframe Connectors.
Plus a ton of other work, but the stuff listed above is what I used my new Lincoln 135 Pro on. I hope my next welding project will be building a cart to store the welder on. I've salvaged 2 casters from an old creeper and 2 wheels from my old pushmower as a start. First off though I've got to put my car back together! Anyway, I figure finishing the welding is a milestone of sorts and after seven months of working on my car...that was something I was desperately searching for.
I'm just rarein to go on the rest of the work now. Do you think SWMBO would notice if I just snuck out to the barn for a couple of hours tonight? I mean, I bought her roses, that ought to mean she'd cut me a little slack. It's not like we won't have another anniversary next year! (I better quit thinking before I get myself in trouble /forums/images/icons/wink.gif.)
