Got the 2×2 Base on the drill press last night. Also re-did my air compressor fittings so they now bend out of the way instead of sticking straight out. Also got all of my metal tubing cut that I need for the Jig! I just have some angle iron and 4 plates to cut before drilling the holes for the set screws. Then I can start welding!
Aug 5, 2012 Update
All of the 2.5×2.5 are cut into 6″ pieces. Still need to cut the 2×2’s. Bought a drill press for drilling holes for the set bolts:
Need to mount the bottom to the 2×2 board. Has a laser sight, and a light bulb. 16 speed 260-4220 RPM. Didn’t have much workbench space, so I went with the floor model from Menards.
July 29th Update
I will now be working from home full-time so I have been busy moving my office and getting things set up this weekend! Needless to say garage time had been minimal! Hope to get out there a little bit today as I still need to cut up the metal tubing!
July 23, 2012 Update
Got some garage time in this weekend. Worked on the body jig. My design is complete and the next step is to cut up the 2.5×2.5 and 2×2 metal tubes. Got to use the cut-off saw for the first time. I quickly found out that cutting these will be time consuming!
My setup:
Three more 6′ sections to go!
These will be cut into 6″ sections. This is from one 6′ section – three more to go and then start cutting the 2×2’s!

Got the shed painted this weekend. Next weekend I hope to seal the deck and get back to the car working on the jig!
July 8th, 2012 Update
No updates – been busy with other projects. Currently working on painting the shed (hope to be done next weekend), then need to seal the deck. Been trying to get out to the garage to work on the Camaro as time permits, but any serious work is at least a couple of weeks away!

Moved a bunch of stuff from the garage to the shed this weekend. Created a much larger working area in the garage around my Camaro!

Still need to paint the shed, but the shingles and everything else is done:
