 I removed the car from the truck and got her on the ground this morning.  I had to dry it off with the propane heater as it was very wet from being rained on all night.

Rob and I mounted the front suspension pieces today.  It took a bit of hacking and cutting on the chassis to get the turrets in place but things lined up nicely.  Now that the suspension is in place, we can work around it and fabricate the radiator, sway bar and brake ducts mounts.
