I am putting the stickers on all of the suspension parts as they are finished.

Today and yesterday the chassis saw the light of day AND the underside of a certain Astro Van... We started marrying the chassis to the body Saturday. Cleaned out a LOT more of the crossmembers (all of them to be exact) made a few notches in the forward rail sections and got the chassis shoved up in there...

Making way for the new chassis... There were 8 of these "tabs" left, spot welded to the old rails that we cleaned off today

After hitting them with a plug cutter and chisel...

Rail notches for frame clearance. I will plate these in over the winter. The drivers side is a bit more "notchie" then the pass side.

After a couple of days worth of cutting and grinding we got the frame up in a near semblance of it's actual position.

I found this...

INSIDE the right hand rail section... WHY would a bird want to get in the rail? Probably to make a nest but it couldn't get out... Sad, very sad.
Thanks for looking.
Services and funeral are next Thursday at 11:00AM.
