Moving Day!!
July 29th marked the one year anniversary of the arrival of the kit. We took a week off to enjoy a short vacation, but we are back to work this week.
We cleared out our list of items that needed to be done before the body came back off, so we started cataloging every nut, bolt, and washer that has to be removed in order to pull the body off of the car.
Next, we moved the body from the chassis to the original storage buck so we could take some measurements. We built the buck that the body will sit on to be painted.
Next, we installed the body and added some supports for the roof. I am thinking about adding a support for the cowl (where the front of the windshield sits), and another support for the hatch area to keep them from drooping.

We have some work to do on areas of the body that we couldn't reach while it was on the car, and then we'll be ready to spray a filler onto the body. This will give it a nice even surface all over. It's pretty smooth now, but we've only sanded it to a rough 80 grit. Before we're done, the sprayable filler will be sanded all the way to 320 grit.
Until next time!
