Looks great Ira! I really need to get back up to the shop to check it out. Are you guys MIG or TIG welding the chassis?

I was up at Wray's on Saturday and checked out the chassis. You've made a ton of progress recently. Looks really great.

After a few weekends away was hoping to get the rear suspension mocked up have it as a roller this past weekend. Started on the passenger's side and required a lot more tweaking than I expected and still needs a bit more and never got to the driver's side. Shop wheels sit idly by. Hopefully next weekend!

It seems like that's always the case, when i plan on getting a lot of stuff done in a day it never seems to go all that smoothly. It's looking great though. Did Mike finish welding the chassis?

How far out are you from starting to shape body panels again?

May be on a set of Ford Focus shop wheels, but she's a roller. Chris, back on the .075 tube superlegerra structure and then the panels. But, probably spend some time on the lathe next weekend turning tie rods first so I can get the steering rack situated:
