Houston, we have a Roller! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

No pics from me, McMark took some as did Jeff Keyzer. You'll have to wait until they get around to upload the pics and video.


This went a lot smoother than i had anticipated, we leveled the two halfs, pushed them together, squared the whole thing and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) , voila!


This is gonna be soooo much fun.

McMark emailed me his pics, so here it goes ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)


We added bracing to the inside of the longs on the front portion of the limo and used that to get the two halves tacked together initially.

After that, we welded support plates on the outside of the longs and added (temporary) bracing to the top sail-panel to doorjamb and firewall to triangulate the whole mid-section.

This turned out to be plenty strong! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)

Next weekend, we'll be taking out the front firewall and add some nice support to the longs at the mid-section.
This will also give us an idea of what is needed to mate the two floorpans and the center tunnels.

If we have time, we'll start addressing the sail-panel area.

I'm still amazed at how well the two parts line up. It looks like everything will be pretty straight forward. The only thing that needs some extra attention is the fact that the door-post for the rear is about 1" higher than the fender near the front door handle. We'll have to find a way to blend those together.

I am trying to fix the rotted area where the bumper bolts on. I sure could use that part of the front end. That is a complicated part to shape.

Isn't that as evil as McCain dumping his first wife just because she got disfigured in a car wreck (not a 914)?

PM McMark ... The red car was hit in the front, but that corner piece might still be usable.
