Blackwater:
Thanks, Gramps!  Coming from you, that’s some serious complement!!

 I DID raise a small blister on my foot, but it’s not in a bad location and seems to be healing quickly.  I lowered the body this morning and removed the doors.  I’m going to put the right outer skins back on them and needed to measure them to be sure I got the right stuff ordered. 

Whoever started the chop on the body had tried to convert the doors to “suicide” style and nearly ruined them completely.!!  They used what looks like house door hinges to hang them!!  They were apparently going to inset them into the door frames, so they cut the skin and frame off at the back edges of both doors.  I will have to make new rear flanges to attach the new skins to so that the doors fit the body the way they’re supposed to and then replace the hinges with the right ones.  The doors, at this point, are an inch and a half too narrow for the new skins.  They SHOULD be here in a couple of weeks.

Blackwater:
Just pokin’ my head in the door to see if anything is happening.  I’ve been laid up for nearly a year now and I feel like I’m about to rust solid!!

If you’re looking in, MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!
