Updates

During the past couple of weeks we achieved a milestone, we managed to get the body mounted to the chassis. The body mated to the chassis easily, and fortunately no modifications were necessary. We have removed the sagging headliner, and have sent to get new fabric and sun visors recovered. We repaired a rusted out drivers seat floor, by cutting out the old floor from the Buick donor car and welded it in. Also we have begun the arduous task of putting all the electrical components together. The electrical progress is going to be a bit of trial and error, hopefully more trial for our case! Next week we hope to get the gas tank installed, the body securely mounted to the frame, and get the front frame rail/ bumper mount fixed. Then we can start putting the front end back together. We are excited now that the car is starting to look like a car again, and our progress is allowing us to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
