Rolling Chassis |
| The build begins... | |||
|
The rolling chassis is the first stage of the build. It consists of four parts: assemble, disassemble, paint and then assemble again. |
|||
|
Here is the front suspension and steering being test fit. |
|
||
| Here is the rear suspension being mounted up. Notice the spring perches in the picture to the far right. These will be cut off before powder coating. |
|
|
|
| I was not sure if the wheels would clear the body. So I put on the body and lower checked the clearance. |
|
|
|
| Here are some frame modifications. The first is a skid plate for the driver side emergency brake. On the far right is when the spring perches were removed. |  |
 |
|
| Here is the frame going to the powder coater. |
|
 |
|
| Allied Powder Coating coated the frame. They did a great job, but I hear that they have raised their prices. |  |
||
| This is the powder coated frame before any assembly has begun. |  |
 |
|
| This finish is very smooth, shiny and tough. |  |
 |
|
| The car is now at the rolling stage, but it still needs wiring and plumbing |  |
 |
|
| I changed out the factory rag joint for a Flaming River unit. |  |
||
| The interior is starting to take shape. |  |
