Lowering The Tub Onto The Frame 


There were a few things we had to get in order before putting the tub onto the frame 
One was to make sure all was tightened up in the front suspension AND 
install the gas pedal linkage that runs along the firewall, which is MUCH 
easier at that time. 
Also, having a chain hoist made it all that much easier and much more relaxing, if that's the word I should use.

Now we wait for the primed panels to fit for the final painting
