Day 5

Good day, and welcome to day 5!  Started at 3:00 today, finishing up a few things before we get this thing down off the table and onto the ground.
First up, front clip mounts.  These mount just above the front valance and to the front of the frame rails:


Next up was the gas tank and EVAP box.  Troy built a couple cross members and we hung the tank with straps.  This will all be concealed by the bed:


Now, finally, time to get this thing down off the table and see how it sits...



Whoa, sits pretty low.  I love it!!  Looks good but will ride like a big American sedan.

We threw the hood on to see what it looked like, but it's not bolted on yet.


Wrapped up the day around 7:00 and headed home.  Only one more day of shop time left, we have Saturday until about noon before we have to clean up and trailer it to my garage.
Hoping to get the last few things that require major fabrication done-  Steering column, brake booster, and dropping the frame behind the rear wheels down so it's level with the front section.  Maybe front bumper mounts if we're super fast, but probably not.  Stay tuned!
