"Rolling Chassis."

.

Notes:

• The chassis is 99% complete...  Yes, my car now has front disc brakes!  The only things left to do on it are replace the rear emergency brake cables with new stainless ones and put stainless braided brake lines on the front.  Joe will be blasting/painting the steering box tonight and putting it back on.

• The radiator support is done.

• The aluminum radiator came in and I got my transmission back from the shop.

• The engine parts are all being ordered tomorrow, so the engine should be done the week of January 10th. 

• Once I have the drivetrain components put together, they will be installed on the rolling chassis.  

• Other notable parts that are coming in the next few days:  Mighty Demon 850 carburetor & the Centerforce II high performance clutch.

• Other notable parts that are in:  The correct driver's side door skin.  3" exhaust system with "X" crossover & high performance mufflers.  The headers should be in this week.  The ENTIRE exhaust system is ceramic coated.  The hood & rear bumper came in a couple of weeks ago.  Too many other parts to list have come in.

• Due to the snowstorm a week ago, my body is not back from the media blasting place yet.  It should be back over the next couple of days.

• Scheduled for this week:  Get the body back.  Finish up the chassis.  The body work should be completed on the passenger side fender & both doors.  All should be in primer and ready for painting when the body is done.
