Captain there be wheels


Over the past few weeks I have been finishing up lots of little things to the car. There are just too many to mention also I can't remember all of them. The biggest was the coil springs for the front suspension, it took me almost 3 hours to do both sides but it was safe and the method was slick. I used two 8" pieces of 3/8 nf ready rod and tightened them up in unison.


After a lot of time and effort I now have a rolling chassis, YEHHHH, right now I have approximately 600 to 650 hours invested in the car. This covers things like deconstruction, cleaning, sandblasting, powder coating, and reassembly. The next big step is to install the engine and start getting it to the point of will it run?

Keep checking I will try to update more often in the future.
