Day 23

The body is officially attached to the chassis now. Exhaust is on both sides and we installed the ceramic coated heat shields over the pipes to keep from burning legs on ingress/egress from the vehicle:

The trunk is on, after a bit of adjustment and cursing:

Still needs a bit of fine tuning forward and back, but it's there:

Tomorrow we tackle the hood and windshield, then possibly the doors...if the hood doesn't give us too much trouble for alignment.
I'M SO EXCITE!

It's on

With the help of a few friends we put the body on the chassis last weekend, and the next day we installed the roll bar:

Then the rear bumper (note the gas tank straps just chillin...) :

I put the gas tank back in at this point because the rear bumper mounting bolts and body fitment was just easier in the long run.
A sweet view from the front, just because:

Fire extinguisher, just in case:

Earlier today I installed the rear wheel well aluminum on the driver's side, which is on the right of this picture:

And then the front driver's side wheel well aluminum, again on the right side of the picture:

That front suspension is adjustable six ways to Sunday. Should handle "Like a cat on carpet." ( Dave Smith )

I then attached the body to the chassis with rivets along the bottom, then put on the exhaust:

Shiny! 

Some more shots of the rear end, if you're into that:

I know I am! Oh yeah:

And now it's officially summer in Tucson because I found a fluffy kitten in an empty glass in my house tonight:

Cheers!
