Chapter 14: The Double Entendre One of my favourite youtube channels is "Home built by Jeff". Its entertaining, informative, Mrs Jeff is hilarious, and it shows that us backyard guys can do these things pretty well as a hobby. I also love the quote "if its worth doing well, its worth doing twice!". Which brings me to that rusty drip rail thing in the engine bay. I originally tried making it out of a single piece, and I was sooo close. Literally a couple of mm ... but I couldn't get it to sit right. It kept fighting me. It wouldn't sit flat. I hammered, dolly'd, rolled, twisted, yelled and screamed at it - but all to no avail. So I started it again, but used a different technique - I built it out of a couple of pieces and welded them together. So much quicker and looks just as good. While I'm a little disappointed in myself that I couldn't quite nail it from a single piece, I also had to move on... I welded it in, cleaned it up and then nuked that area with Rust Encapsulator. Next Chapter - I'm taking the car back to the future ... way back, to the Fred Flinstone days!
