Hi nc,
VERY nice looking work!!!!
I've always thought that a well restored chassis with engine and running gear is too pretty to cover with a body!
Regards,
Alan

PS: ALL that effort... and bolts for the ball joints? Sorry!

Been thinking the same thing... lose the body! As long as this project is taking me, I'll have plenty of time to stare at the chassis anyway!

And those upper bolts... yeah, I know. I even tried those 'fake' looking rivet/bolt thingies, but that turned into a disaster. It's not like I'm in a hurry, so could have just sent them off.
