More pictures putting the body on the frame. Notice the inner fender wells - they're being dry fitted so we can get everything right before securing them to the body/engine compartment with the clawplast (pookie). Everything is fitting nicely.

Here are the last of the pictures. I estimate that my project will be complete within the next 6-7 months...just in time to let the wind blow through my hair...

Hello Jill,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at Keels and Wheels. I wanted to bring your restoration thread back to the top hoping to see your most recent updated pictures of your beautiful Crown Sapphire 59. I hope to get to see it in person soon.

Jay

I had my 62' over the 90 degree point several times. Most of the time however it is just as easy to rotate it back the other way for work height ease of use. If your frame mounts are solid it won't be a problem. It also helps to have the rotisserie mounts be several inches off the frame for easier access between the body and the rotisserie. When I had the body painted the body shop folks loved having it on the rotisserie for painting and finishing. I used John's design to build mine and it worked great. Thx

You are commenting on posts from over 4 years ago.

If Jill decides she wants to resume posting on her project from 2014, a new thread would probably be the way to go.
