 With Glenn's (Vinnie) help I finally have the body back on the frame, the body mated to the frame perfectly. We used a body to frame alinement dowel and all fourteen body mount bolts went in perfectly. Then back into the trailer the body went for a month while I used the shop for a woodworking project. That's done now, so I hope to get back on the car doors, fenders, hood and trunk lid....
Loren has agreed to post the last of the pictures I'm unable to post. From here on I'll use my new handy camera.

Sorry that you had to go to such lengths to finally get pictures on the forum, but I'm definitely looking forward to see photos on your progress!

Hello from sunny and very busy Florida,

  Sorry for the delay in getting Kevin's pictures posted for him. I didn't get them in perfect sequence for Kevin, but here is the final picture of the set.
 It sure is looking really sweet Kevin. It has come a long way from the time we were at your place for the Ohio meet.

  Loren

I've cut out the reinforcement steel used with the rotisserie. Today I painted the trunk with splatter paint, looks good, I'm pleased with the results.
Yep, that's me two weeks overdue for a haircut spraying Zolatone 20. I've used Zolatone before and been very happy with it, once cured (5-7 days) it is bulletproof.
Pictures don't show the splatter pattern very well but I like the results.

Kevin,that trunk looks great. Is that the silver grey Zolatone 20? Does that need to be mixed with a activator/hardener?
