Tim, Love that body drop, but I missed how you got the lift arms out of the way - to set the body in final position - how was that done? Manually lifting the car or???

Ronald,

The pads of the lift are placed on the edge of the birdcage. There is enough room to lower it on to the frame without any sort of "manual" work. We did forget the sidepipes needed to be loosened or better yet, removed in order to give the arms room for the body drop.

Tim, nice updates,

A couple things I noticed, colored fuses? 66 were clear.

Painted head lamp motors? The only way saw these were plain steel, they rusted in 20 seconds or less. Satin or a dulled clear will help stop that process.

Great progress, almost ready to run!
