Biggest news first: Miramichi Dragway Park's first points meet and Maritime Stock/Super Stock series event scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled due to a wet forecast.
As for me I finished up most of the work at home and started another big project helping Brother in law Ross build a workshop/shed at his place. Gonna be nice - 14X18 with clerestory windows and a small loft on the back end. Spent the day putting the sills together with half lap joints and getting it all level and square. Rest of the floor will be done tomorrow maybe.
Picked up a Mig welder at Canadian Tire in North Sydney today. They had it on sale at $175 off so I couldn't pass it up. Looks like there's no excuse now for not finishing the Hornet's cage. As you can see all that's holding it in place now is some red Tuck tape, an interference fit on the crossbar and the force of gravity on the door bar. There's also a small tack with a stick welder where the main hoop mounts on top of the subframe connectors. but maybe now with a new welder there'll finally be some progress on the old girl. 
Long term plans are to build a "tribute" car similar to the Maskin and Kanners Hornet X Pro Stocker from 1977. It was either that or the Wally booth car from the same era and since I think the paint scheme on Dick Maskin's car would be easier to reproduce that made the decision easier. Still got to move the leaf springs and do something with the wheel tubs but the layout of the Hornet's subframe/rear hatch area makes it easy. There's no weird bends or curves and even the stock tubs are shaped almost like aftermarket ones. Will post pics as I go but first thing is to fix a couple of small holes in the long term VW Golf project's floor just to get used to the welder.
