In the beginning

I traded for this body. It had been slated for a straight line car, but never completed. The glass is in good shape and has a bottom roll pan that was installed at the factory. This is good because it gives about 4-6 inches more depth inside the car when built as a high boy.

This is another shot showing the extent of material removed from the back and the type of channel that it was slated for. Notice the stands I built. I use these when I asseble and fabricate other cars. Easy to build and raise the vehicle - with tires and wheels - 12 inches off the ground. As you can see, they are also handy for other things.
