Another milestone

Got the chassis back on it's wheels last night. Only took a couple years. If the ground ever dries out, I can get Dad's trailer down to the pole barn and bring her home. Hopefully I won't have to wait until May for that to happen.



Woohoo!

Damn Kevin! You're catching up and you've only been at yours for what, three years now?

It is nice to make some progress, isn't it? Even if it's not putting a 3,000 HP, 2,800 ft-lb 302 SB in your F-100 like some people are doing.

You have me inspired now. I gotta go out to the garage and fix that darn oil leak I've been promising I'd get to for about six months. First I gotta finish the four month garage clean-up project.

BTW, don't tell your dad, but I like your shop better than his based on the photo.

Looking good! I wish I was done with painting backing plates and spring bushings, but I'm not. Iam lucky as I didn't have to take mine apart like you did. Pretty soon you'll see an engine and and trans in there(ever find one?) -4speed

George is right, it's a bit anti-climatic compared to the 3,000HP girlyblock thread. But congrats on the milestone nonetheless.

And the old mans garage has some desirable features. A guy can spit on the floor while he's working. Speeds the project along.

J/K, I've met Kevins father, he's got a little more class than I. Not that it's a tough standard to meet.
