   Blake, I thought  you might be interested in seeing a process  photo
or two. This is the engine mount I am currently working on. The  pictures
were taken this morning after disconnecting it from the fixture. It  is
just tack welded.  I am particularly pleased with the high quality of
fit ups done  by Joy.  All I did was the  welding.  This mount will  be
ready to ship in another week.

It is colder than hell and the temps are falling. Wind is blowing.
Three inches of slush now frozen as hard as granite.  We need to go  to
town but getting out of the driveway may be impossible.    California
dreamin....     Jerry



Jerry,

Looks good, when you finish weld it do you have it on the jig and if  not is
there any distortion issues ?

It stays on the plywood firewall which pivots to horizontal for better
access for a second series of tack welds.  After that, there is no
more worry about weld warpage and the mm  can be removed and placed on
the welding table for  final welding.   Jerry
