    It is a car.

    Ass is too high.

    Definitely need those fenders now!

    I don't think it's too far off.
    Add the weight of the fenders and boards + a couple passengers, it might level out.
    You're going to need to look at it once everything is in place.

    Oh it’ll be a process. It’s a T rear spring. Hopefully it settles. I don’t have it in me to pull the rear to mess with the spring anytime soon.

    It’s more bolted down than the PO had it bolted on the other frame. 8 bolts, 5 nuts.

    I still need to get the last few blocks and rubber pads in. Then shim everything.

    Turns out that cut subrail was a red herring. Apparently Phaetons were two piece bodies with the rear subrail sliding in a pocket at the front seat back. Imagine my surprise when I’m trying to keep half my body from tumbling onto me when that separated!

    No seats or floor, so no one has sat in it yet. But we’re getting close.

    I’ll worry more when I get fenders on… but I’m hoping to go from this:

    Hey @RyanAK
    Indeed that is progress, but man, its dammed near painful to watch and observe how all of this progress is going on outside and in the dirt!
    If ever there was a very deserving individual that needs to have at least a shed or a lean to, or some kind of better environment than grass and dirt to work on, its YOU brother!
    Bravo for having the strength and resilience to get back at it !
    Thanks from Dennis.
