I tried spacing the below information out so it'd be easier to read but it grouped it all together when I posted.

I don't see the dash or the upper dash side panels in the list. I thought you were making them?

We made one batch of dash panels that (most of them) were sent to Richard. I've not made the time to release them for production yet. Same with the cowl side panels. I don't list them because then I get people upset with me as they are not ready. So, when I make the time and get them released, they'll get listed.

The QC guys are still training on the new software. Let them play!

That software looks amazing. I can’t wait for the cowl side panels. If I had to be laid off I wish the railroad had done it after I got the panels. If I’m going to have lots of free time I’d prefer to spend it finishing my Mutt. Ha, ha. Things are looking up in the job front though.

In our area anyone in the trades can find a job if they want. We can not find enough welders / machinist / metal workers. It's tough.

I am probably going to be a maintenance guy for the big machines at a cardboard factory. The bosses said my prior mechanical/technical experiences will be a great foundation for the things I will need to learn. It pays well and the benefits will be good. If I lived up there I would definitely come calling.

finding quality capable trades people seems to be a world wide problem right now. In my line of work I struggle to find
capable roading engineers who can make decisions and make things happen!! So have resorted to running recruitment programs in the UK and Europe for staff

I grew up in the wrong time period!!! Jobs were extremely hard to find in the trades as I was coming up. I shouldn't say hard too find but hard to find one with good pay and benefits. I finally had to settle for a job with not so good pay but a pension and lifetime medical after retirement. So basically I am broke but my medical bills are mostly paid for.

First axe head mount is done. On this one I welded the flange on. Will think about making a die to stamp for production runs.

Looking good, That NOS side panel down there is looking a bit sad though! They were in a much better state when they were crated up there!!

Maybe they got damaged in shipping , plus, they are 50 years old.

They might have a little more rust but they are not bent. Good news for you is that as I'm son of Tom, and was told appropriately 1.3 billion times, "Guy, return things in better condition then when you recieved them." From the ages of 0 - 18, you'll get them back with rust removed and a nice coat of Imron primer if you want.

The first driver side panel is complete with the exception of the door rod bracket. It's been a long time coming and I'm glad it's basically done. Have to make some adjustments to the part program but they are minor.
