Installed front Eibach 1 in drop springs. And new shocks. Refreshed upper control arms and underside of strut tower and Painted with POR. And removed front sway bar........ Roller again. Im really glad i decided to replace the shocks....i wasn't sure but the old ones seemed to be "frozen" or stuck.... and now the new ones feel much better and allow some travel.

Built a gantry to pick up the Beretta body. Used 3 2x12 for the beam supported by 2 2x6 posts and got 2 one ton chain falls. Should be test fitting the body on the chassis soon ....after a lil rearrange and finish cutting the floor pan out !!!!

That looks beefy! That thing looks like it could hold up your shop too.
Are you going to throw the chains over the main beam - or though some kind of hooks attached to it?

Hahah yeah technically it is holding up the shop. Its attached to one of the rafters and tied into one of the ceiling ties......and yeah I will either wrap/hang chains or nylon straps around the beam and use the chain falls on the door hinges and possibly a engine hoist and some chains on the back bumper beam...... gotta get the body about 40" up in the air to roll the chassis under......im expecting to have to remove alot more material from the cowl area on the Beretta. Cant wait to start fitting and seeing them as one

Hahahaha i wish.....It literally is just a roller .......there are so many incomplete systems that prevent this from being a running driving car its too much to actually list .......about the only things this chassis does is roll amd barley steer

Those body seams with the seam sealer definitely will be showing it's age after suspending the body and affixing it to the chassis. That sealer stuff is not easy to work with/remove or cheap like silicone or caulk.
Have fun!

The car is fitted with a Aeroform GFX fiberglass body kit. ..came with bumpers, side skirts, and wing, which were all molded or shaved into the sheet metal body.
