The wheels came!



Sneak peek!



We put the valve stems in and took the center locks off the wheels to get the tires put on. We were going to have the tires mounted today but they guy was out of the shop, So instead we took the time to start putting the front end together!







pics are not the greatest as there was not a lot of sunlight!

I will have some good pics tomorrow of the wheels and tires as they are mounted up!

Got the Toyo Proxes 4 Tires mounted and balanced today!





On the chassis!







Front end is complete now except for the swaybar that just came in. We are working on getting the chassis rolling so we can drop the body on next week some time! We will be steam cleaning the rear end to get all of the grime and stuff out per instructions and assembling the rear end tomorrow!

Rolled the chassis outside today and steam cleaned the rear end! Got all the grime out of it in preparation to start assembling the rear end so next week we can roll the chassis under the body for the first time!





I just love the wheels so i had to get a pic with them outside!

Finished up the first assembly of the chassis. everything except the front swaybar.













Welded some tubing on the chassis so its eaiser to move the body and get it squared off.

Picked the body off the old 1955 technology chassis









Thought this was a cool pictures






We put the body down on the new chassis but we have to cut out more floor in order to get it to sit on the chassis

Thats it for now!
