Yep... about an hour NW of Detroit.

So far my build has been a bit backasswards. As purchased the previous owner apparently thought the first thing to do was to install the body to the frame and install the doors. Since I'm just getting full useage of my garage (with the weather breaking), the time I have spent on the car up to this point has been mostly just fibreglass work and the body cutouts.

Next I'll be building some wooden braces for the body (rather flimsy since the doors have already been cut out) and pulling the body so I can start on the chassis (my neighbors are on standby to help lift off the body).

I'd like to stop by while you still have Capteddie's car. Besides just seeing it I'd like to take maybe a kazillion pics or so. I also have some measurements to take as I seem to be a bit shortchanged on getting all the bracketry, etc. that I ordered through GLR and I'll have to fab my own. Would Wednesday or Thursday of this week work? (Morning probably... then I'll head over to Big Rapids area to visit my brother). Next week would work as well.

Thanks.
