You bet .... I’m not sure of the time line ... I'm thinking we will put the fenders on it and trailer the car (body) back to my house and set it on the frame. Not much of a work party . The car is on the east side of Conroe

Hey Wayne I have a towbar you can use to tow bar the pan out to Jasons so that you can have help putting the body back on the pan. Also I think I have new fender beading if you need some.

I like the idea of taking it to Jasons ... My towbar is too wide .. the beams is arount 26" inside the horns. Do you have one that is narrow?

I have adjusted the toe some on the beam so I think it will be ok , I do need to torque the rear spline nuts .

Doug has a narrowed tow bar I will ask him. I just got a new one and have not had a chance to narrow it. usually a stock tow bar will fit on a 2 inch narrowed link pin beam I guess a ball joint is different. You are planning on going out to Jason's Sunday?
