    Since everything is upside down in Australia from Nova Scotia.......you are automatically now qualified for out back Australian welding. And New Zealand too.

    Eventually the car will be finished, you'll drive it into town and people will stop and admire it . Very few of them will have any idea of the hundreds of hours doing this kind of repair. Good on yer Jim.

    Jim, can you get a pair of cheap magnifying reader glasses where you are? I had them scattered all around my shop before cataract surgery. Another trick is to wear bifocals upside down. Old but still trying.

    You mentioned in earlier videos you were worried about the undercoating catching fire; I'm glad to see it didnt come to be. Thank You for updating your progress on this Olds. She's gonna be a runner.

    At least on those patches your not having to distort your body into a thousand positions to get the work done. You must be stoked about that Job's coming along well Jimbo. looks good.
    btw Jimbo a lot of times if you have a lousy cheap mig welder that could very well be the reason you have had trouble catching on to welding mig. When it comes to welding mig a good welder makes a massive difference it your ability of picking it up and doing well with it.

      @@ashpnk06p60 yeah I would have got somebody along time ago if that was my situation Doug definitely overcharge them for that engine but it actually sounded good when they originally started it up when he delivered it , the drivetrain and chassis gets built first then you build the body around that he went about it backwards and the sides of the engine compartment should have been made removable for access to the engine probably should have found the exact same engine that he bought from Doug that fit in the car to be honest with you at this point who cares the whole situation gives me a especially what he did to that Hudson
