Got the suspension installed today! I have a couple of corrections to make, but most of the work is complete.

My 12 year old son decided to go and help today. We had a great day! He actually learned about some parts that he has only seen on Playstation games. I have been trying to get him interested in building the car. Today really peaked his interest.

Here are a few pics of the progres.

First - Not a real exciting pic - but look at that properly installed steering shaft assembly! Just about blew it on that one-Whew!

Still hanging on the rotisserie. But...next week she should be rolling!!!

A lot of weight has been added. A little concerned about how to safely get the car back on the ground. So far thinking about getting 7-8 guys and CAREFULLY muscle it down.

Doug, Phenomenal!!! Is that powder coated suspension parts, A arm, trailing arm, etc.? What a great job. It seems though, it is so good, maybe you should just wrap it in saran wrap when done. Too good to drive. What did you do for the undercoat. Is that POR15 or did you powder coat that as well?
Why can't we use the rotisserie for our cars when put together?
