Default Re: New project coming along

I've had a busy few days with the Elky project. Had the vinyl top and headliner put on the car. As soon as that was finished, the body went back on the chassis. Just finished a couple hours ago. It was pretty straight forward. I made a gig out of 2 x 2 steel tubing, and some simple hardware, to bolt to the cowl, so I could raise the front of the body with 2 engine hoists, and still be able to role the finished chassis under the raised body. Also had a hoist in the rear, chained to the bed/tailgate bolt holes. Then invited a couple friends over for a body/chassis reuniting party. All went well. Everything fit right into place. Looking forward to some easier projects, like carpet, moldings, etc.. Here's a few shots of the process. Pics are a little dark, but the flash does light up the orange huh?
