Working on my organization skills. It looking like there will be lots of free time this summer/fall, any cans of energy left over from the Troopy build? 
(I'm anxious to get back at Spot, but things will go better with the shed gone through)

Excellent plan! Things always go better and faster when things are organized.
And when you have enough space to be organized.
Looks good!

Stick him on a trailer and come for a visit. We have a few other Cruiser projects in the queue but both Ty and I would like to be able to help you out w your 55. TNS is around the corner....

Shed is in better shape now. Todd and dad helped roll Spot back in yesterday. Spent some time last night clearing the heater and miscellaneous junk from the inside of the firewall. Looks like I should be in the clear as far a pushing the firewall back behind the engine.
Still need to remove the linkages from the transfer dash controls before cutting.
Geronimo is getting some love too. The deck needs fresh bearings, a fresh belt and a spindle changed out. Hoping I can pull the spindle from an old retired case ride-on that's sitting around.

Starting to draw some lines and poke some holes through the firewall. Any suggestions on what's best to use cutting the sheet metal? Jigsaw? Just give 'er and go at it with the angle grinder and zip disk?
Got this beauty off of kijiji a couple weeks back. Nice not having to dig through boxes and Rubbermaid totes to find tools.
Back drilling on my usual rig. Doing short vertical wells, working solo and short turn around times between them. Hopefully when those are done in a month there is more work to keep us going.

Love the tool box. I bought a large one at Home Depot a couple of Christmases ago and I love it.
As for cutting, I've used a jigsaw with a metal blade and it works pretty good. It's very useful when you want to make nice inside curves, but the downfall is that it works best on flat and you have to have room to maneuver it. Also have a couple of extra blades because they if you only have one and it breaks on a corner you won't be happy if you don't have another. An alternative to the jigsaw is a reciprocating saw. Bit tougher and blades are longer.
Zip disks work well, obviously, and I use them quite a bit, but just be careful to protect your glass from sparks, as I always seem to forget to do.
You'll probably find that a combination of all will work the best.
