Distractions and injuries...
I bought these really great welding clips to use on the patch panels about two weeks ago. I haven't taken a picture of them, but they really help get the patch panels on straight for welding. I'm currently using two of them to hold the current patch on. They work a lot better than using clamps or magnets.
Anyway, there's a few reasons I haven't updated recently. The electronic distributor died on the BelAir last week. It looks like a resistor or something burned out on the PCB board inside the distributor...that's what I get for using modern technology on a 50 year-old car, I guess.
Anyway, I finally got the distributor taken apart and diagnosed Sunday night...then last night I fell and sprained my ankle pretty badly. The doctors don't think it's broken, but it's pretty bad for a sprain. Needless to say, I won't be able to do a lot of panel fitting on the Bug until I'm healed up a little bit.
It's pretty bad timing, actually. I'll be on crutches for several weeks, and our son is due in less than 7 weeks. My main goal was to get the patch for the driver's side fender fully welded in before he's born...we'll see if I can do it!
