I installed the spacer for the rear most chassis to body mount. Without the spacer I would have inner fenders sticking up through the floor.

The nose was a challenge, all those angles was challenge. A little fiberglass in the corner, some more square pieces, and ready for goo.

Most of the time I like the challenge of figuring this thing out. Today has been a challenge, Today's good point has been your comments, thanks. The old chevy in your avatar is that what you will pull your tear with?

I have a friend who has a couple of those sitting in his field, sad to see them rust away.

Today after taking my aunt to the grocery store, I heard her story, all the way there and back, on how she was ready to drive again (not my decision, but I agree she's not ready). When at the store she has to go up and down every ******* isle. Then she forgets the marshmallows, at the other end of this ******* store, took forever. I will admit I hate shopping.

Did get some done on the bottom.
Image
Eight more pieces and time for fiberglassing the corners.

Buttoned up a couple of loose ends on the frame.
Image
Installed the cotter pins in the shackle bolts, and put jam nuts on the axle U bolts. Call me paranoid, but these I do not want to come loose. Wire the breaks and the frame is done.

That's Teardrop Time.
Still graced with two eyes and ten fingers (due in no small part to luck!).

Just when you think a problem is solved, an uglier result replaces it.

The great glue debates, who won? Any that work good in cold?
