"Nice job Tom. Looks like things are really starting to come together!!!"
Moose
Thanks Moose!
"Very nice job...is that a C3 vette steering wheel?"
Thanks Ed yes it is out of an Corvette I used to own. Sold it after I got married for the down payment on our house.

Finally got the body to the body shop for primer / sealer.  When I get it home tomorrow I hope to get the body back on the chassis and start assembly.  First ride is not too long away!

Sounds like things are starting to get exciting.....And as per my usual .... Don't forget the pictures!

Hey Tom, I'll bet going to that car show gave you a little extra energy, I know it always works on me.  Jim

[TFoch]

Got the body back from the shop.  It's now sealed so I can get it back on the chassis.  We didn't fix any of the dents so the black sealer shows the car's "character".  But this will allow me to get it running and on the road to work out the bugs for a year or so.  I definitely got some looks towing it the 1/4 mile from my house to the body shop.  I hope to have a few guys over tomorrow night to help get it back on the chassis.  Sorry for the dark pics, I hope they satisfy Moose  .

Tom, the body looks great, you must be jumping out of your skin! You'll be tooling around in that car before you know it.
In the second picture, is that your pink helmet on the toolbox for when you get it on the road?         Jim

Yeah Jim can't wait to take it for a ride! That's my granddaughter's helmet for when I drag her behind my mountain bike.  Too small to fit me anymore!  She's loves going out in the garage with me

One step closer....If you think it's drawing a lot of attention now just wait until you hit the road!!!! The pic's look pretty good...Just had to turn the brightness up on the monitor to the max

Had a few friends just stop by and we got the body back on the chassis.  Now just keep chipping away at it.

That is too cool. It won't be long now.

[chopper526]

Tom, it really looks great! It's nice to have friends, how much beer did it cost you?

[TFoch]

Here's a couple of pics of the chassis before the body went on and then with the doors on it.

Looking good Tom.....Before you know it all the fun is gonna be over and the only thing left to do will be to drive it.
You peaked my curiosity with one of your pictures. What's that thing that looks like something paint red and silver metal flake covered with plastic. I don't mean to be nosey but.....

Looking great Tom...good to see you're still banging away. It's hard to keep motivated..on my end any way. What kind of schedule do you have, or are you waiting for the good weather to leave?

Ed

Moose, that red and silver metal flake is my bass boat.  It's a Ranger R70 with a 115 HP Mercury.  My son's not into cars so that's how we spend our time together.  Ed, I was hoping to get it on the road by fall.  Won't get too much done in July with family gatherings and a trip out west coming up.
