Are you sure your ancestors aren't from Canada?
Hey Lonnie, sorry, just kidding, I'll bet if we go back 2-3 thousand years we're most likely related, along with JD's ancesters.
Uh, actually they were on my father's side, Perry. But, to be fair, that was before Canada was Canada. They called it Acadia back then.

I dunno, JD. I have some relatives who moved around in the Mobile, Pensacola, Tallahassee region. We could have had some intermingling back then.

Yes sir, as directed.
I did get to my near term goal of getting the major chassis features done, and getting my build back on the build table where I can complete the suspension and other features like the scuttle hoop, steering wheel setup, seats and the boot of the car.
Due to the way my rotisserie was attached to the chassis, the front bay of the lower chassis was without any triangulation. I had build a piece to do that out of 1/8" plate some months ago. Taking it off the rotisserie provided a chance to put it in place. I did a pattern of 1/4"x20 weld nuts on the continuous reinforcement, so that later on I can build a cover of perforated metal to keep debris and bad things from coming up into the engine compartment uninvited.

So, after the primer was dry enough it went back onto the build table, but is on blocks. I need to re-level and modify the table to provide access to the new features welded in since initial construction way back when. It's likely to be 2-3 weeks before I get back to it.
