Project - Ashes to ...?

[groovyjay]

Few shots showing the rolling chassis. Wheels are just temporary at this point.

After the chassis was all done, it was time to wrap it up and drop the body back on for some final body work before paint.







Here you can see the rear section of the frame removed for the body drop.





It's finally back on!

How is this for awful stance.




No transmission or engine in the car at this point. Test fitting the seats, I went with Sparco F550's. I was only able to find one, since they discontinued making them 2 years ago. So I found one F550 and one F500, which is a sister model (same frame) and had it upholstered to look the part.

Early stages in the body shop.

Nice!

[groovyjay]

Engine bay was the first to get a fresh coat of paint.





After that we lifted the body and installed the engine and transmission.





And then we dropped the body back on.





To be continued...
