Got the chassis all put back together tonight. Everything is tightened, aligned, bolted down and the like. All I have to do is hang the mufflers and tailpipes back on and fill all the fluids before the body goes on. Body is ready for primer and the final block and paint. Sure takes a lot longer to put it all back together than to take it apart. Been working on this for 7 1/2 years so it's finally getting close.

That's almost too nice to cover up with a body, Bob!  ....Nice work!

But, please, Please, PLEASE tell me your REAL shop is on the other side of the curtain!  

....I'd feel guilty walking around in your garage with my shoes on! :D

Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way.

If your doing major surgery it needs to be clean, right??



QuoteYikes! You're right! It looks clean enought ot eat off of. Could it possibly run hard?

It's a ZZ4 crate motor

Yes, there's another 16x24 room behind there. The floor did look like the front part but now that I've been painting in there it not anymore. I guess you could say I'm a neat freak. But guess that's not all that bad. :D


QuoteNice job, Bob. What color is the body going to be?

It's going to be the yellow on the 05 ford trucks. I think, it's Screaming Yellow or Blazing Yellow. One name is on the F series trucks and the other is on the smaller ranger trucks, same color code.  I think, don't have the color here, it's out in the shop.


Thanks for the comments folks.
