Default Reached a milestone this weekend

After 18 months, a replacement frame, and a small fortune in bolts I can now offically say that my frame is now a rolling chassis. Maybe in another 18 months I can officially say that I can actually drive it, onward thru the fog! :smash:

Good to hear it's coming along!!!!!!!!

This fall/winter we'll see if we can make another trip over to see your chassis 1st hand. The pics we took when we visited are in my Vette photo album. :yesnod:

What color are you gonna paint her?

Pains and dreams - and missing parts - all too familiar.

Great to see others that aren't afraid to dig in and bring an American
legend back to the road. I'm about 16 months behind you, picking up
steam right now - but wait until it's 0 degrees in my garage.

Great work and good luck
:seeya

I did not do a frame-off, but I think another crowning moment is when you put the seats in after re-doing the interior. Good luck.

Thanks guys, lots of grease and dirty fingernails for sure. Glenn, going back to the Mille Miglia red but I do like steel cities grey, and that green whatever the name of it is. But red is what it was originally and that is fine by me. I'm there most of the time so let me know. :cheers: Now to find a website to host pics that is consistently up.
