Brief Description: Skylight taking shape.

Skylight frame getting in place. Trimmed stingers on the front, so the 1/2" x 1/2" tube butted both sides. TIP keep the large stringer piece as it will come in handy shortly. Installed front tube (towards windshield). Tack welded in place Trimmed the stringer support so the arched tubing fits between front and rear tubing. Tack welded the stringer support. Made another support for the rear of the "X" cross over. Tacked in place. First 100F day in Austin, about 120F in the shop. No problem with chilled welds.
