the two post lift resides where?

Its a rented warehouse in Monrovia. I rent "3" of the spaces in a row, for my farm cold storage. One has the lift in it, where I work and store car, second one is the one with the Orange Scout in pic, and the one more to the right we use for cold storage. Unfortuantely none are connected, so you have to exit out, and go to the other unit.
to the bodyshop
winter progress
Nice to see this back up.
Any sneak peeks from the bodyshop?

progress
Art Morison frame and Belair together. Engine bay ready and clean
These aren’t the wheels I’m using... friend let me use his drag racing ones to see if mini tub fits well
They do
WOW - that is coming together nicely. The motor setup should be extra rowdy. Assuming the new frame makes the chassis drastically more rigid or does more need to be done with tie bars and connectors?
In reply to 84FSP :
it is certainly quite rigid - i do not think more needs to be done.
having said that lets see once we finish if it needs anything more
cant wait to drive the end product!
How was the fitment of the body to the frame? Any difficulties?
In reply to rdcyclist :
smooth as butter
guess those guys at the chassis builder know what they are doing
also 1 owner car no body work or accidents certainly helped
some progress ...
