    Installing the body ... the Southern Way ...

     







    No drame ( like on the TV shows )
    No cursing, name calling or fancy lifts ...
    Just a few friends over and we set the 3W on the frame for the last time.

    Took longer to type this ... than it took to actually set the body on the frame.
    Now I can get back to working on it a little more that the HEAT has died down some and cooler weather is on the way ...

    Not sure how you could get that many rodders over to help out without seeing some beer cans in the background! LOL

    Looks good.

    I am the guy in the red shirt ...
    As far as I know ... none of us drink beer. I have not drank one in 20 - 25 years.
    Never liked the stuff ...

    Seven years is more likely than 7 days ... for completion.
    I bought the coupe January the 15th, 2005 ... and hope to be finished by the NSRA Nationals 2008 ( next year ). I have most everything bought ... and have $$$ set aside for upholstery ...

    So HOPEFULLY ... it will be done by mid summer 2008

    I was under the impression that the Suthin' way of installing a car body was with a fork lift

    It really looks great - and maybe if I get my 6+ year project done, I too will be at the NSRA 2008 Nationals.
