| Got this one.I'll take some better ones tommorow. I'd really like to box in the c rail. Not sure if i'll have the time or money to get it done. You can really see how flimsy that section is with the frame bare. Brake lines are all new prebent stainless from Inline tube . They'll be installed before the body goes back on. | |

| Here's Pictures of the c rails for Jim. Drivers side is pretty flimsy.Passenger not as bad. We got the rear installed today. Couple of minor snags.1 elongated lower arm mount. Couldn't find the brand new bolts.I bought 3 months ago' Got a feeling that wont be the last time i can't find something. Got a newly painted stock cover to install. Starting to feel like i'm getting something done. We'll see how i feel in a couple of weeks when it's time to do some of the more technical stuff.Engine/ trani/ front clip etc.etc.

| Thanks mark. Looks clean.
I've read where some weld cut up washers to repair/fill the hole and other just fill with weld wire and then clean up the hole. | |

| Thought you guys might like to see a couple of things that you might run into when replacing body mounts. First the #1 mount was rusted so out bad the rubber falls thru on the drivers side. The hole on the left should look like the one on the right. This is caused by the water running down the frame and firewall directly into this area. Sadly i've been working on the frame for a month and didn't realize till i test fit the new mounts that we're gonna have to fab a peice to fill it in. This is the #6 mount right behind the rear wheels. These are the only bolts that broke off when removing the body mounts. I had tryed to remove the stubs with the fire wrench and only managed to SEAR the inside of my arm. Thinking about getting 9C1 tattooed right in the middle of the burned area. The car will be on the road before the burn heals up. We used a hole saw to access the upper bolt/will replace with a big washer bolt setup. I'LL weld up the hole later. | |

| If I ever hit the lottery. Three things will happen. i'll be gone for awhile as I'll be on a long term vacation in Aruba . I'll find a place to do a body off on my wagon, and I'll also seek out the lowest mile wagon I can find. Priorities, you know. | |

| I am so proud of Mark, one hell of a job with no shot cuts! I am figuring he will be selling his body on Sherman Street before he complets the task. When that time comes he will then have to start taking shot cuts!!!!!

| A few pics from today. Not the greatest pictures.but a huge day overall. The beast almost resembles a CAR again. Won't be long now.Time to start putting it back together. Me holding down the back corner.we only had it resting on 3 arms of the lift. Sounds scary but it got the job done. Everything lined up on the first drop !!!!!!! I know Glenn was as surprised as i was that it didn't take a couple of tries to get it right !!!!!!!! Engine mounted. Waiting on the convertor. My fault. I waited till the last minute to order it .Hopefuly it'll be here monday The underbody looking better than the topside. Paints gonna have to wait till next year. | |

| As I continue to read about Maark's ordeal I start to get worried that he and Glen are spending far to much time together? The jury is still out on this one! One heck of a job, can't wait to see the finish product. Keep up the good work guys as there is light at the end of the tunnel.

| Was blessed with a visit from Mark yesterday, of course he left the farm with more parts! I will clean out yet! He would not come up today as we are killing off 50 meat chickens, cleaning, plucking, cutting and wrapping. You would think he would lend a friend a hand! What a chicken. Please not I said PLUCKING!
