Some of you have had trouble viewing video in the past so I am trying a link to YouTube. This video was taken January 2, 2011 and starts a new year for our build. Follow along and see how we do in the new year.

Mounting the Body to the Chassis
It's time to fit the body to the chassis. We want to do this so we can check the fit on the doors, drip rails, hood, trim pieces, etc. We will basically assemble the car, verify everything fits, then disassemble for paint. In this picture I've drained the cooling fluid and removed several pieces on the chassis so the body can be installed.
Using the electric winch and body straps, we lifted the body off of the body dolly.
We were very careful not to scratch the fresh paint in the engine compartment.
Minor modifications were needed because of the side exhaust.
The body was shimmed then bolted down tight. It looks great!

Ausy Pete, these are the shortened straps I told you about. They work great.
