Good to hear from you. Looks like you'll be on the road soon? Progress is looking good. What did you have to do to bribe Nick into coming down to help out?

I have a buddy who has 2 of the 4000 bodys/chassis and they are substantially different from my chassis. I don't think I want to go through that much work to copy the 4000 chassis. Also, I'm not real sure all the changes were good things. Looks like expediency may have sacrificed strenth/rigidity in a few places on the new chassis. But I'm not an engineer, so what do I know?

However, when I try to take the body off in a week or two I may find myself needing to make some tough decisions (read- saws and torches)

Just finally made up some working door hinges, so I can finally bond the hoops to the doors, hood, trunk lid. Now I can finally get some progress going again.
