There's some wrenches in the second pic.

Oh, BTW, great work Gavin. I wish I had a small vehicle in a BIG garage to work on. Not the other way around.

I really want to get the engine and trans. dropped in but I guess I should run the brake and fuel hard lines first.

I can't remember, and don't want to look through 52 pages, are you going to paint the body, or just leave it as is? Chassis turned out really nice!

I was going to do nothing to the body but I changed my mind and I'm going to Scotch Brite it and shoot it with matte clear.
