Here is Bill Smith loaning me his trailer.
Here is the main pile of parts I picked up at Hurricane (with a couple of other customers' cars in the background).
And what we looked like 2 hours later, pulling away. We had a lot of trouble getting the frame/body onto the trailer. It was just me, Jim Jones, and Jason from Hurricane. Damn, that sucker was heavy.
Four and a half hours later we got to my house. I had subsequently called my nephews, Nathan and Phil Halley, along with Bill Smith and Paul Proefrock to come over and help unload. This was no easy task, especially trying to get the frame/body back off of the trailer. Brute force manhandling was just not going to work. Eventually Paul had the great idea to back the trailer all the way into the garage and slide the car part way off the trailer, then drive the car away, very slowly, while others managed the cars descent. That worked like a charm and we were done in about an hour, but too dark for many good pictures. Boy it is nice to have really smart friends.
Finally, I am including a couple of shots of the parts with me and Phil, and the obligatory shot of a dude (Nathan) sitting in the empty car, pretending to be driving.
The next steps will be to inventory everything I've got, and to try to better organize things in my garage (and living room where the parts are currently stored). Once I actually start into building, the first step is to drill some preparatory holes for the windshield to be fitted prior to removing all of the body and panels to access the frame.
