Well, here we go again! Updates should be back on track in the next week or so. After nearly a year break I am ready to get back into the build. Mel and I got the chassis up on the rotissirie today! Had to reconfigure the brackets a bit but, once they were bolted to the frame, the rest went pretty quick. We used the engine hoist to lift the frame high enough to slide the rotissirie ends on. It rolls around real easy now.

This is a step in the right direction anyway.

I need to do some major cleaning and re-arrainging in the shop to make room to work but I am back at it and should have the chassis in the shop by next weekend. I will be re-working the K member to make room for the Gear vendors unit, running brake lines and finishing up the stab bar brackets. Once this is all done I can prep for paint! I hope to have the chassis in paint before December. I have the entire week of Thanks Giving off due to GM furloughing all of the contract people so, if I hit this hard, I see no proplem with that schedule. I will be shooting the frame with a dark graphite color to go with all of the grays and blacks I did the suspensions in.
With the chassis complete I will set it down on stands and start making it into a roller. Building the stab bars is the only real fab work left and I won't do that until all of the suspensions are in place. I hope to have it rolling by the first of the year. GM is furloughing us for the last two weeks in December so I will not be lacking for time!
I hope you will follow along.
