And the centre crossmember is starting to shape up. I'll cut a chunk out of all this for the sticky-out bit around the starter motor on the gearbox adapter once it's complete. But for now, it's mostly boxed in, doesn't flex, and I'll call that enough car for the weekend.

Previously, I was making a whole load of apologies for my welding; pointing out that it is not complete, that I know it needs tidying up, etc. That is pre-empting Internet welding dudes (and only the dudes), who are the absolute worst.

I've stopped doing that because a) I've not actually encountered any on fedi b) I have firm plans to found a space company to launch them into fucking orbit if I do.

Anyway, here's a nice German fire truck!

@lewis The antidote to this is to go look at the welds on any old Hotrod.

Pretty welds are a super modern invention.

@Basmitharts Other than the space launch company, my antidote is to lose a deeply-rooted insecurity, honestly. That's a work in progress, but the more I do the more that gets better.

@lewis

Seriously, f*ck those guys - you're doing amazing work.

I have a lot of admiration for your decisiveness in choosing disparate components and BUILDING something of your own hands.

It's awe-inspiring.

Don't give up, and if our wee words can give you the confidence to keep going in the face of engineering, material, or any other sort of adversity, well, it's the least we can do.
