Getting the hood, fenders and grill lined up at the body shop! It opens, closes and latches! Woo hoo! Small victories!

That is a major accomplishment!

While it's getting panels lined up, I'm working on the rotisserie. This thing is a beast!

Borrowed from a friend, I'm adapting it to the cart I made last year. Seems easy....but like most things...

When I get the car back, I'll remove the body (again) and use this set-up to get it blasted, finish the body work and paint. Hopefully it will make it easy to keep the body secure up to the point of putting it back on the chassis...for the last time....????

I'm impressed... frame table/rotisserie

**BFXJason** · July 15, 2020, 12:04 PM

Thanks! Burning a lot of mig wire!!! hehehe

Back from the body shop...off the frame...blasted...and etched! That brings us up to today!

We knew we had some work, and thankfully there were no surprises!

Ya - it's not too bad...we got lucky?

The rear needs some work, especially on the driver side. The roof has some dents - look like they strapped down something heavy on it at one time? Overall though, not too bad.

Here are some pictures taking the body off the chassis and getting it on the rotisserie. That was an interesting task. I had to get creative on a way to hold up the front of the car
