2nd Fuse Sid Out of Jig

Finally the second fuse side is tacked and out of the jig. This is probably one of the coolest days in the build process to date. Lots of excitement. Dad and I passed the torch back and forth across the jig to get all the joints tacked.
ATTENTION
Those of you that are using MDF board for a table top, Don't spend much time between fuse sides. We laid the jig out about a year ago and built the first side probably 9 months ago. When we got ready to tack the 2ND side we laid the first side over the second and it did not mach up very well. There was probably 1/4" difference from firewall to tail post. Our fix was to put the first side back in the jig and redo the blocks. After we did this everything went pretty smooth and the second side came out like the first. I guess the MDF expanded due to moisture. Pics to come.
