Default Body Drop tomorrow!!

Finally after god knows how long... i will be putting the body back on the Vette tomorrow!! This is a highly exciting moment that has only come after several MAJOR hassle including having to nearly completely refabricate the PS bracket. But now all the pulley's & brackets are lined up. The PS hoses are all there. All the lines (brake, fuel) run. I think we've gotten it all!

Anyway, this is in the S. Austin, TX area. We'll be starting early in the AM and plan to start lifting the body (to slide the chassis under) around 10 am tomorrow. Anyone interested in attending is more than welcome...

Hey congratulations on the body drop. Must be pretty exciting for you. I have been working on my front suspension and engine rebuild for a while now and tonight I finally set the motor in. I am pretty excited about that. Keep up the good work and let us know how it goes. :cool:
