I live in Brasil retired from Los Angeles and understand the dificulty of aquiring parts like you can in the USA. We have to get creative to find parts everywhere. You are indeed an artist congratulations great fender flare.
Thanks! A long time ago, I traveled quite a lot. Spent many months in Brazil, and it was the best place I ever visited. Loved the people and there zest for life
Good to see you back in the shop, Diff.
God bless you my friend!!! I'm so happy to see you kicking butt like you always do!!! Thanks for sharing with us, and have a great day!!!
Good to see you back. Take your time and heal. I believe we all want to see this and you other projects, but take it easy and heal.

Love the goofy music parts. Tuba, slide trombone, clarinet, knockers…always brings a laugh
I’m recovering from hernia surgery now. Turned out I had three spots not one. I’m just at eight days recovering. You are providing entertainment during my down time.
Hope you recover soon! All the best
@@ratrodsafrica thank you
Great to see a fellow Senior Citizen also taking naps 💤💤💤
Those fender arches look great and yes shiny paint does cause stress. As a grey beard cancer survivor I salute you my friend.
Well done my fellow survivor!
Great to see you back at it again Div. Nice job on the fenders. Take care and remember, not to fast, need to heal up. Take care Boet 👍
Nice see you back at work
The level of detail in this restoration is extraordinary. You can see the love and effort in every frame
Hej Diff.
We call it a grandfather here in Denmark, when you take a little afternoon nap. You deserve it.
Greetings from Misery Bay
So glad you’re back we missed you brother! Keep healing!
Yes, great to see you back in the shop, I hope your surgery worked out well for you😊
Welcome back Maestro !!!
The phrase 'fender bender' just got a new meaning...
Love it !
Glad you are doing better, your show has been missed ! Keep up the good work.
so happy to see you feeling well enough to start poking around in the shop again! here's hoping the rest of your recovery goes smoothly and quickly brother
Div, enjoy your afternoon nap you’ve earned it😴.👍🏴
You're looking good Duff power on brother. There's nothing can stop you with positive thinking.
Best of luck and keep her between the ditches, brother
Glad to have you back postings. As you were welding the 'extension" I was thinking, "how is it he never burns through like I do all the time?" and just then YOU burned through. Your ARE human! Your explanation on how you will correct the situation is very helpful. I usually just go back and try to fill the hole and continue on welding as I had been when I burned through. Thank you for the explanation of a "SCAN". I have been getting them for quite some time now and never knew it.
😀👍A good little trick when you've burned a hole and you are struggling to close it - back it with a piece of copper or aluminum and then weld it up. It helps to absorb some of the heat, and the welding does not stick to it
I'm happy to see you back in the shop Diff! Take it easy my brother healing is a slow process
Awesome to c you back Diff loveing what you do , remember to take it slow. And don't over do do it . 🙏🙌🙏.
The grinder will make you the welder you ain't keep up the GREAT WORK and heal up
Lovely job. A pleasure watching you tackle that. Be kind to yourself, Rome wasn't built in a day. Steady wins the race. 💪👍
Good to have the Old G back at what he does best.
Welcome back, Div. I'm happy to see you are back into the workshop.

Glad to have you back. With your skills and knowledge you could have made a time machine, travelled back to chassis construction and moved it forward 20mm. But since the flares and yellow bug look badass, this will do! Dankie Div
