okay after 4 nights of work its ready to pull

the only thing I have attaching the body to frame is the two #1 bolts..

im gonna do the pull at a friends warehouse/auto museum

so I need to haul it across town.. figured those two bolts will hold it in place..

then ill haul the frame back here and begin stripping it..

I didnt add too many new pics to the project page but there are a few.

I pulled my exhaust also.. kept getting in my way as I was trying to creep under the car..

its not going back on anyway.

you should look at the crappy work the exhaust guy did..

where did the PO find all these idiots ??

Ben,

Budweiser,

your checklist is missing Budweiser.

Good luck with your frame, mine is still away at the shop. The man doing the job builds stock car chassies for a living, so I trust his work. Maybe I'll be getting it back one of these days.

actually what its missing is mountain dew..

took quite a bit of caffiene to get all this work done in roughly 20 hours of work time spread over four days by myself. especially when you consider it took two hours on one bolt...

besides I wouldnt get much work done going to the bathroom every 15 minutes (the primary result of me drinking budwieser)
