	All will be all right on the night... or morning... The tool list has been compiled ready for a raid on the workshop when I'm there on Saturday, the list includes my metal shears and joggler as @grumpynorthener has mentioned above, but let me know if you need any sheet metal too.

Some sheetmetal on standby may be sensible. As I would have cut up a fridge or tumble drier 😁😁😁😁😈

	Random alert. Been away at a sales conference, training and more corporate “stuff” at a hotel at Heathrow airport One of the things today was to model some kids Play Doh to represent something that meant something to you. This was actually something I did after the initial modelling assignment. Representative of my 26 years in this industry..... and what I head when managers go on and on. Managers, take note. My model was a truck, filled with balloons in the rear, plus of course Roadkill Kitty under the wheel. After leaving the meeting, the M25 was busy, but not total chaos, popped in to see Joymand Wyzz her dog, then down to Morrison’s to get some food and bread. Well..... When I stopped there was an abandoned shopping trolley with £1.00 in it, and when I left....... there was another abandoned trolley. £2.00 in my pocket, or $3.00 scored. Why would I say no to free cash? Bought three cases of discounted Bud Light for Sunday, £4.40 saving per pack. So £13.20 saved. Got the bread, then went to look for meat for Sunday’s BBQ and found the in-house butcher marking down short dated meat. These people are crazy anal about the dates. I bought Fillet steak, Pastrami Briskett and some pork chops...... Check the crazy price reductions. Bought £38.00 worth of meat for less than £2.00 Brought the meat home and prepped it for the oven. Extra garlic and olive oil, sealed in foil and into the oven for 6 hrs at 110’C In the end, adding up the savings, I had saved £51.00 or about $75.00 I am looking forward to seeing what the final,result is. Contemplating smoking one of these on a fire too. Back in a bit.

In this case, even if it all went to my fox, it would still be a bargain. Looking forward to trying it out. One more quick update. Welder trolley final assembly tonight, included the cable hook that I made yellow. All done. Though he died years ago, I think my dad would have approved as well. Next time we see it, I may just be welding. Thanks for checking in. Bedtime soon as I have to get up at 01.00-ish to process the Briskett.

	Had to do a small bit of welding for Mickey next door today, trolley meant welder got pushed all the way there and back. Then cut grass etc, at one point saw a parcel had been propped up against the side gate that was open. Turned out it was from Chris, the GrumpyNorthener. He does some serious restorations, often having concourse winners too. Some of his work. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/196036/jowett-bradford-utility-power-retro forum.retro-rides.org/thread/200957/1967-corsair-panel-paint-restoration And where today’s gift came from. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/204128/beating-dealer-garage-find-content Opened it to find a note, And every item individually wrapped up. Exactly what you expect from a guy who always gives the best to his customers. Humbled for sure. Plates to add to my collection, two from the Jowett rescue he recently did. Thank you mate. Back to that Briskett I cooked. Crazy how well it came out. Falls apart and increbly tasty. Tomorrow @johnnybravo and samta22 will get to try it. Looking forward to a couple of early Bootfairs and then some good company as craigrk will be over too to return the plastic pallets Prozac took him last year. It will be a good day. Sam was busy with this today. But his pile of special bits were waiting at his car.

	Friday morning on the way to work I collected a new bottle of 5% Argon/CO2 mix gas for the welder. Late afternoon on the way home, I popped into my favourite Turkish butcher for some T-Bone steaks kebabs and smoked sausages. Saturday morning I did lots of yard work, till 12.30 then showered and went over to Joy’s place. She offered to drive...... What a pleasure. She knows all the back roads and short cuts. First stop was Tool Station to get a spare (no 3) angle grinder. £27.00 for 750 watt. After this we went shopping, then walked up to the poor side of town, and both had a Turkish mixed grill and a coffee. Rather good, leaving us stuffed. Then back to her place to walk Wyzz. I went home by 10.00 pm as I was knackered. Awake at 04.00 on Sunday after 5hrs sleep was not ideal Then off to Bootfairs by 06.15 Bought for £1.00 this collection box was last used in 1931. Couple of Tiki salt n pepper shakers for MrTiki. £2.00 coin, bought with another medallion. Wonder if it is still legal tender. Then homeward as I was expecting the MoJo Crew of JohnnyBravo, Samta22 and CraigRK. Craig was here by 09.00offloading plastic pallets and the MoJo Twins parked up just before 10.00 am. Coffee, biccies and a good hour long chat, strategising and planning ensued. Then the slow walk to the garage. It was on. 18 months since Craig and I rebuilt the brakes on the truck,on the 19th December 2016 Crazy, yes.

	Once we were done chatting etc, it was time to go push the Chevy chassis and cab out the garage. Did I mention it’s been 18 months. The shy retiring JohnnyBravo behind the cab with Sam checking out the holes, Mr Bravo loves to solve problems. forum.retro-rides.org/thread/200406/wheels-on-wagon How do you draw a circle with calipers when there is no centre? Create a bridge of course.... Once the bent metal had been pulled back to ground zero. Sam double checking. Then using a keyhole powerfile that I bought years ago, I cleaned the paint around the excess holes in preparation for the welding up. Once the new circles had been screened, I welded up the holes outside the perimeter and then used the Dremmel tool to cut through the wasted steel. At that point, Craig climbed in with a second Dremmel tool on the drivers side. Flap wheel to tidy up the welded up holes Once the holes were tidied, inside and outside, it was time to get the airline on the Joggler. Joggler result at its best. Recessed surface to allow for flat welding a panel in to cover space. At this point the next step was to be measuring and cutting the patch panels. More in a bit.

	Next up, mark out the patches. Cut out and tidy up. In order to maximise fixing the new steel it was decided to drill 3mm holes and clean up the steel on both surfaces, than to puddle weld the patches in. Craig held the steel in place for maximum contact and fit. First series of puddle welds. By 3.30 we shut shop as I had achieved all I wanted for the day. And fire and beer sounded so much more interesting. Packed tools etc away, pushed truck back and locked up. MoJo Team. JohnnyBravo, Samta22 and CraigRK chatting. By 6pm the party was over as everyone had a fair distance to travel. It’s really not enough to just say thank you, but that does sum it all up. It was a great day to end a lovely weekend. After the guys left, Joy came over for a couple of hours. Thanks for checking in. This week I will carry on with the welding and grinding.

	Impressive bit of work - though even more impressive is seeing Johnny Bravo's face - I just naturally assumed he was like the Stig, or Darth Vader. Some say he creates tank parts out of chip buddies and treacle... All we know is that he's called Johnny Bravo Back to the truck

It was my biker neighbour who came to look in. JB avoids the press. Thought I would add a short clip of JB driving the joggler off the compressor. Certainly a tool worth its price if you are doing panels with good metal. Not sure how much hard work a manual one is.
