Chassis is here - let's get rolling!

The new chassis from Vette Products arrived.
Chris pre-fit it on the body...and then back to the powder coating shop

The completed chassis

We did some repairs on the original fan shroud

Original "Pennsylvania" stampings on fan shroud

Finishing up the fan shroud

Took another load of parts to be sand blasted & coated

Had to get the rear housing steam cleaned

David delivered the chassis & parts to the shop

Everything looks great!

Let the assembly party begin!

Speedo, Tach, wiper motor, clock & more...

 

All freshly rebuilt & restored!  Speedo, Tach, Fuel, Temp, Battery, Oil & Clock

Wiper motor

We kept the original mileage on the Odometer

And the original Revolutions on the Tach

Rear Leaf Springs...

 

While we're waiting on the chassis, we figured we'd re-assemble the leaf springs...

New bands, new rubber & new insulators

Original leafs - if you zoom in, you'll see the part # stamped on top (3711550)
