The Rolling Chasis

Rolling chassis entry redone...(read next post) yeah I went back and changed the format of the post with larger pics in the center and not trying to right and left justify smaller pics as in the past posts and it made posting much easier. (11/19)

The chassis hung from the ceiling for a couple of years on hooks. In the summer of 2003 it was taken down and set on car jack stands in the clean room and dusted off for the beginning of assembly. It was a great day!!!
Over the 2003-04 winter one of the guys at my dad's shop gave my chassis a big "boost" forward. After I got most of the parts cleaned, sandblasted and painted for the chassis over the summer, he assembled a good part of the chassis suspension over the winter making my progress all that much faster in 2004.
I was able to get the engine and transmission finished and installed when I was up for vacation. I think my dad was getting tired of my car just sitting there too. And it's still in the same place! So maybe he didn't mind that much. Slowly it began to look more and more like a car again...
July of 2004 I finally have a rolling chassis!!!
