Thanks, soltz.

Rotisserie ends do look like engine stands, and could be used for that, but they are much heavier than the typical stand. Overbuilt, and homemade from scrap square tubing I found.

It's a mild stone when primer goes on for sure [cl[cl[cl

Got my frame painted with a new color: Semi-gloss chassis black with a "sprinkling" of chartreuse.

This is what happens when you paint outside in Central Alabama. Everything is covered with a layer of pine pollen!

Pine pollen is just getting started here. About a month of green powder on everything.

That’s why I try to do any big outside painting jobs in Sept and Oct, usually hot and dry. Sometimes dusty, but no pollen worries that time of year.

My project is beginning to resemble a car! I temporarily married the power train, frame, and body shell so that I can get the trans tunnel fit and to drill holes for the new body mounts. This will be followed by a temporary divorce so that I can spray the trans tunnel and maybe use bedliner on the underside.

Looks great.[cl [cl
If only we had a dime for everything that we put together and take apart again.

Then we could buy more parts ... to put together and take apart again!

Progress has been slow, due to a temporary lack of motivation, mower repairs, yard work, etc, etc.

Plumbing is complete, except for the master cylinder and a transmission cooler. Next up is changing rear gears and redrilling the axles for 5x4.5 bolt pattern. Then I can put the body back on the frame ... and get enough shop space to move around.

It's beginning to look more like an 80 year old Plymouth!

Oh yeah!! Definitely feels good to see it coming together, even though there is obviously lots of work left.
