I got the bodybuck finished so I am making a little progress. I have gotten a few holes drilled in the body for trunk and hood latches. At this rate I'll have her finished up in a year or two...lol...2056

Ron;
If you're going to use your cherry picker to lift the body be sure to build enough height into your body buck to clear the legs. It's a PITA to do it after the fact. Don't ask me how I know.

Ron,

looks good! Have a saw-zall close by when you get ready to lower the body. A good chance you'll have to trim the body buck in the area around the dropped foot box. You're gonna have a blast doing the build. completion is bitter-sweet, a lot of anticipation builds up wanting to take the first drive, but when its done you'll find yourself moping around and aggrivating the wife cause your bored. Take lots of pictures and please post! We love to see your progress.
