During my 2003 Christmas break I decided to try the body on the new frame. I ran into some minor clearance problems that I'll have to deal with. Later, in March 2004 I set the body back on again to design the wheel tubs. I also dry-fit the front end to be sure the front tires and engine really fit ;-).

The pictures show the color the car was when I last painted it in 1980. It will be completely stripped and blasted inside and out, new floors, new wheel tubs, new quarters and rockers, new firewall, and all new under-hood sheetmetal fabbed and installed, and re-painted.
