Thanks meller. I am truly blessed. I don't get on here very much but I try to update things as often as I can. Things are starting to slide a bit with the family. My daughter is 16 (one word BOYS) so I've lost her for the most part but she will lend a hand if asked. The garage has become a dangerous place for my disabled son, so my wife says (I tend to agree) with all the welding grinding and now fiberglass all over the place he (WILL) end up tracking it in the house or worse yet walking through all this in his bare feet. He just doesn't get the "You're gonna get something in your foot" concept. The wife lends me a hand when the two I have are just not enough. She is also very busy running the household (Not an easy job by any means).

More updates: The chassis is all welded up by a pro welder so I've been doing some grinding to purty things up a bit. I boxed in the front frame horns and cut slots to slide the nerf bars in. They will be held in place with two 5/16-24 bolts threaded thru spreader bar end caps. I'm currently working on the spreader bar made from a model A cross bar. I installed weld nuts to the frame so I don't have to crawl under to put the nuts on. The trany crossmember has been modified. The steering brace for the bearing is all welded in as well as the brackets for the split wishbones. I notched the front crossmember to clear the spring as well as added one of those U-boltless kits to hold the spring in place. She is almost ready for powder coating. I should also add that the steering is all figured out and was mounted, the gas and brake pedals are also all set. The brake pedal had to be modified a bit to clear the column and have room for the gas pedal. All I have left on the frame is 8 weld nuts (4 for the gas tank & 4 for the spreader bar), the thru the frame brake fittings up front and some kind of fitting for the headlight wires to run thru. Now on to some pictures.
