Had part of Thur and all of Friday off and with today here is what I have.
Finished up the Brake and Fuel lines, fiberglassed in the patches on the pass side floor pan, undercoated both floor pans, reworked the battery cable and finally todat dropped the body back on the frame.


Even disassebled the gantry I used for the body lift and the dolly and have part of the garage cleaned up.
Tomorrow I shim up the body. Nwxt week its a start on all the little stuff to get it fired back up.
