Rolling Chassis – Before and After

Well, a significant milestone has nearly been reached – the rolling chassis is now about 99% complete! As a recap of the progress I thought it would be interesting to show some before and after photos of the chassis. So, here are the photos – enjoy!

Well, it’s almost there! Getting the chassis this close to completion sure gives you a real sense of accomplishment. Even though I’m probably only about 1/3 of the way through this project I consider this a major milestone! A few more hours of tinkering on the chassis and I’ll be moving onto my engine build-up. Check back soon!
