So today the frame is back on the ground and I'm going to install the suspension again. I'll then start with positioning the firewall and start in on floors. I final welded the rest of the 4-link mounts and notched the lower forward mounts for floor pan recess. Engine and transmission show up next week so I can get those mounted too.

A cool thing I bought of eBay is a vintage Grady White aluminum steering wheel. This thing is EERILY similar to the 507's wheel. The handle reliefs in the grip area and the reverse side has knurles just like the original. I'll probably buy a 1940s Ford aftermarket wheel and graft the hub on to this. I'm so excited!! I love it when I find parts like this!!!

Front and rear skins piled in the corner just look cool. More to come this weekend....
