wheee!

I agree. The stripped chassis is easily supported by the shocks. I did not make the rotisserie and it worked perfectly fine on the car in the video. Couple that with the fact the shocks will be discarded once the build progresses in favour of the replica 240 bumpers.

Been done before... This is a local buddies 280 on the same rotisserie. https://vimeo.com/133069906 Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

The bumper shocks will be the mount points for the rotisserie. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

The teardown begins... the first things to go are the ugly 5mph bumpers! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

The controls you see are for the sprinkler system. Top one is the remote rain gauge. They were already in when I bought the place so I had to leave them where they are. There is also a thermostat for the furnace and then the power panel. Below that is the 240v welding circuit. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

WorkBench is in. Power supply and paper masking roll set up. Moved the car outside to clean up under it... Still a lot to do and clean up! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Garage is almost done! Ceiling downdraft ventilation to go in still... https://vimeo.com/132142797 Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Inherited a set of gently used Dapper HID headlights from another member that went another route! Lucky me! Add those to the parts shelf....

Almost two months and a few thousand dollars later, I am seeing the light at the end of the garage tunnel.... A few more sheets to go up on the ceiling, a little more vent work and a coat of paint and the interior shell will be done! After that, I will set up a couple benches and a shelving system and install the overhead fluorescents and the car project can finally begin!!!! whew....

All I can do is drool....

Thanks Matt! Soon.... Very soon...! Speaking of progress... Where's your's at????

I will be! This is a total project for me. I want to do as much as I can. I have taken a couple of classes on Autobody and paint and I am not afraid of the learning curve. The secret is patience and elbow grease! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Nice routing of the spark plug wires Matt; looks good!

More progress... Furnace in position. Lower in-line ventilation fan for down draft paint booth installed. Upper unit this weekend. Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Things are getting closer to teardown! The gas line was installed to the garage yesterday which means I can insulate and finish the interior walls, install the furnace, and plumb the ductwork for the downdraft paint booth! so excited!

Are we around the corner yet! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Wow! Thanks Chas! You've come to my rescue again!! Mark

Anyone have a copy of this file? The link is no good anymore....

, mines not worth much more than the $100 I paid for it at this point!! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Mark, I have two spare 4 spds too... let me know if you need one. Mark

That's crazy how easy you make things look Matt! You need to move closer.... Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Thumbs up for taking the safe route and inspecting everything properly. No shortcuts here! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Nice dogs Matt! I knew we had a lot in common. I've owned Bostons and bulls for years too. Sadly they're all gone now.

Pure car Pron! Nice work Matt! Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....

Do you wire wheel polish the flat metal parts too or just the nuts and bolts? Sent from my iPizzle ringy dingy device....
