I decided to get the cab on the chassis so I can nail down my wheelbase, build my driveline, mount the front clip, start working on getting the porterbuilt hood hinge "pads" welded to the hood, etc etc.
I re-enacted my Egyptian cab moving process (I need to incorporate some of their ancient levers and pulleys next time though..) Elevate cab, roll the chassis over/under and lower the cab..
.. then I cut out my "inner fenders" to clear the tires and bolted them up..
it's amazing how a few hours of hanging sheet-metal can make it look like you actually accomplished something.. plus it's extra motivating to go out into the garage and see a truck there rather than a chassis and some parts...
here are some pics.
one of my daughters got a whizzy new camera that does panorama shots ... so I'll add some of those pics... has kind of a wide angle / fisheye lens effect...
Hopefully tomorrow I can get the hood in place and functioning... we'll see.
