thanks guys. I am still waiting for the painter to paint the body but in the meantime I started assembling the pan after protecting all cavities with Fluid Film rust protection oil.
This is really the fun part: bolting on nice, clean parts  Cool

A friend build a 2 inch adjustable beam to compensate the 6 inch cookie cutters and dropped spindels.
After shortening the leaf springs I assembled everything.

Things are slowly progressing.
The headliner is in, the dashboard and many other details are assembled.
And the body is on the pan, although it is only for space safing purposes for now. I still need to finish some details on the bottom of the body. [ Attachment: You are not allowed to view attachments ]
