Default Body On

Monday was a big day for the project, got some friends over and we sat the body down on the frame.
I have the covers on the front seats which was alot harder than it seems if you install hog rings in the inner seam of the seat bottom because of the stretching at the ring so I left the hog rings off the bottom and saved a little money using "chrome" door edge guards for the seat trim (walmart $8).
I added disc brakes off a 69 chevelle, new front control arm bushings, shocks, control arm shafts after I ruined the threads with a hammer trying to get the old bushings off, I ended up using a torch and chisel.
The spindles were were difficult to add to bare frame because no weight to push down a arm so I strapped a floor jack to both a arms and lifted the lower until the spindle fit.
ran new brake line and proportioning valve and new lines on rear axle.
