Back on the ground

Got the body reacquainted with the front subframe and rearend today.

It all went pretty well, we made some good markers to help with subframe alignment so it could be brought right back where it needed to be.

Aren’t those wheels cool?  Ha!  The wheel/tire combo is actually about the right diameter overall, though I don’t think I’ll be going with 14’s.  Lots of guys fixing up these cars are running brake rotors as big as those wheels!

Will be time to get the real rolling stock soon.  I think I’ve decided on the wheels, and also the tires.  Problem with ST is the stuff I buy today could be outdated for next season.  Oh well…

Getting an idea of the underbody and interior color yet?  🙂

Inside…

Firewall same color-

Trunk too

Tomorrow the doors, front end, and trunklid will get re-attached.  Then the “real” body work can begin, fixing all the highs and lows, and straightening/evening all the gaps.

Can’t believe how quickly this thing is coming along!!!
