...... we have progress .......... we have some paint (although none on the body yet) ......... the chassis, rear end, and suspension have been painted satin black .......... the engine and transmission have been painted Aqua Blue ............ reassembly of the chassis is underway

















... we have, however, run into some snags .......... the driveshaft was built one inch too short, so the shop will have rebuild us one with the correct length ......... a couple of very minor fit issues have cropped up, but the fixes are extremely quick and easy .......... all the rubber components on the front suspension were eaten up by something either spilled or accidentally sprayed on them at the first shop, replacements are expected this week ............ we hope to have all chassis and running gear installation done this week and are looking to fire the engine and test all drivetrain components next Monday ........... when all that is completed, full focus will be tuned to the body cleanup, primer, paint, and interior
