After completing all sheetmetal; building all new ss brake lines; build new upper &amp; lower control arms (header interference); build mounts for new heat exchangers (coolant &amp; xmssn oil); and a variety of things I've forgotten, we totally disassemble everything and head to the painters shop.

Guess who's in town from Canada doing chassis inspects??? YEP, Mr. Div.6 (Truly a very nice guy)
so lets drop by and see how his ultra-sound machine is working!!
Then the paint shop. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

See POST introduction.
Smokey, the car is nearly done; as this project started somewhere in the late summer or fall of 2007. So I've had some time to collect 300-400+ pictures of the project. I guess I should try and date the progress as I post.

The Fab Shop had the car for a dozen months or so and the paint shop for 8-9 months not real sure of exact times, then back to Fab for a couple of months for finishing, then took a year or more off and went back to Fab for a couple more months to finish up some loose ends....blah blah blah.. you understand how <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 14pt">time</span></span> and money just get away from you [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

Anyway if you want a time line, the chassis inspection that you see in the pictorial was just replaced 10-22-2011 for a new 3yr 25.4 cert. Sorry for the confusion.
