Nearly two weeks of rain, wind and thunderstorms have slowed progress. Reservoirs that were dry only six weeks ago are now overflowing and low-lying areas are under water, including spots in my yard. When I cut grass between storms a couple of days ago, I had to mow around several "ponds", or risk getting the mower stuck in the greasy clay.
Several household projects have also kept me out of the workshop, but the guestroom now has built-in cabinets , new closet shelving, and all new furniture.
With thunderstorms in the forecast for at least the next ten days, plans to fit check the engine and transmission mounts will be delayed or dropped since it would have to take place outside where the frame is stored. I'll probably just take the block and heads in to the machine shop and hope everything fits when it's time to install the engine.
Since I refilled the welder's gas canister, put on a new roll of wire, and bought new welding gloves, it might be time to install the lower fender patch panels. That will be the last major sheet metal repair needed. It's difficult to get motivated for some jobs, but they have to be done and it feels good when complete and out of the way.
