As if the messy rear wheel arches weren’t bad enough, I eventually had to admit that the rear chassis legs that hold the IRS in – and hold the whole rear of the shell together – were also too far gone and would need to be replaced – MAKE IT STOP!!!<\/p>\n

If you look closely at the last blog, you’ll see I actually did this before cutting out the rear wheel arches, but now that the whole car is done, I’m just doing things one topic at a time…\u00a0 The rear chassis legs were the FIRST thing we did – because they are crucial.<\/p>\n

Doing them, however, posed a real issue, because we use them to hold the shell into the rotisserie and to locate it.\u00a0 Well, I had to do SOMETHING, so in the end, I WELDED the shell to the rotisserie along the main floor runners – that ought to hold it still!\u00a0 And it did.<\/p>\n
