Body is Ready for the chassis

8am tomorrow I'll bring the chassis over to the shop to reunite body and chassis after slightly more than eighteen months of separation. The body came off the chassis on December 23, 2009. It's scheduled to go back on the refreshed chassis tomorrow, May 27, 2011. This is the longest this car has been off the road in the fifteen years I've owned it. 

 The hood was the last major panel to be finished. Today Ron sprayed the black on the back side. On the right side as you look at it is the modification he did for extra clearance for the brake booster. He modeled it after the factory indentation on the left side. 

Yesterday the engine bay was painted black.

The wheel wells were all painted yesterday with a bedliner type paint. 

 The car is now sitting by the two post lift, ready to have the dolly removed and the chassis put in it's place.

Along with the wheel wells, the front grill area, and the two openings below the headlights were also painted black.
