Slow Going

Had friends at the house for five days over new years. Over the five days managed to sneak out to the garage for four or five hours total between New Year's Day and Sunday the 3rd. In that time finished bolting the body to the rotisserie, rebolted it with the proper shims so the doors fit, removed the door latches and used a tie strap to hold them closed, and rolled the rotisserie out and swept the garage.

With the car elevated properly, it was a two man effort to roll the car on it's side, with a couple extra hands to drop the lock pins in the pivot arms.

Susan's pointing at the 49 years of dirt and road grime she doesn't want to clean off the underside of the body. I can't blame her.















I carefully checked to make sure the body wouldn't scrape on the top of the garage door opening, using a C clamp to lock the door up beyond the opening. Unfortunatly, I didn't think the bikes were hanging too low - so I had to grab the ladder and pull a couple front tires to get them out of the way.









Here's Rick and I with the body tucked back in the garage. There should be sufficient space for me to start working the cleaning, repairs and modifications on the pan.
