    I hope so as well.........Im itching because the floor insert was set up weird and the body would drop onto the frame and sit correctly. So I cut the bad spots out and the gl*** was everywhere. Ive already learned my lesson on fibergl***....No I gotta make this wonky seat insert seal up..Im waiting on the windshield post from El C and one good long weekend and Ill have it rolling

    **** it sounds like you're having a week like mine.
    I had to visit Tropical Tire this morning, the damn tire on the '60's gone kaput. It was damn scary.
    It ****s having to spend money because of others stupidity.

    I think the up in the air look coulda suited the T.
    Isn't a dropped axle AND suicide mounting going to really drop the car TOO low?

    ok so Friday and saturday were great!! I finally got the front end together an mounted. then saturday I spent all day making true progress! I NOW have a Roller!!! yes the front ends set up, the rear spring is set on the axle, the rear radius rods are set on the axle. and the frame mounts are welded into place for the rear and mocked up for the front. I tried to send some pics along with this but have upgraded to XP and my camera dosnt work now!! anyhow its rolling and looking like a ROD!! tonight Im gonna set the motor in and set the front wishbones to the frame and adjust the front axle and rear axle into what would be called IN PLACE!!!

    It looks ****ing great Mike.
    It's too bad about the split wishbones breaking.
    Man that's a scary thought, internal corrosion. Ya' gotta remember those things are hollow and they're at least 55 years old.
