Day 3: our goal for this day was to construct and install the mid sawhorse A-Frame, remove the cherry picker whose legs were blocking the forward movement of the chassis and move the chassis forward into the front garage.
The mid sawhorse A-Frame had to be notched to clear the body sheet metal (see 2 pix below). The doubler was in place to reinforce the notch-weakened cross bar.
Bud (left) and I (right) admiring the "big fish" we just landed, i.e., the chassis rolled forward away from the body.
Lance also admiring the "big fish". Lance immediately wanted me to explain to him how the Torsion-Level worked now that he could see everything (he has a 1955 Clipper Constellation):
The Panther chassis rolled forward and to the side of the front garage for later work. My 55 Pat still fits on the other side of the front garage (yeah!):
