For a couple of days I was just stuck. I had the body primed and was going to test fit the body on the chassis so I could figure out where to make the hood cuts at when......I noticed that the body wasn't going all the way down on the chassis. Long story short I had to take the couch back out in the back as it was too close to the L/H wall of the body. It took me a minute to find it because I noticed a couple of things that I overlooked when installing the floor onto the chassis that'll help with body/chassis alignment later. Those are fixed as well.

As of this morning I was able to test fit the body and mark the hood for cuts later. One more primer coat and this'll be ready for paint.

That looks completely insane – those rear wheels are almost the width of the body!
Great work so far Joe.

I've got the black on as of this morning........

The first pic has been lightened a little to show the detail while the second one is unaltered to show the correct shade. In any case............she's black:

Yep, most assuredly the correct color choice.
