And a successful landing!!!
The weather held us up a bit last week but we finally had a good day to do the shell transfer.
This was a HUGE MILESTONE! It took us about an hour to do the lift off of the shell from the old frame. There were of course those HIDDEN rivets all by the door frame that slowed us down a bit. Our golf cart again came in so handy moving both the old and new frames around.
Tim and I then took a break before spending a few more hours getting the shell to fit the new frame. We used lots of scraps for shoehorns. Did some tugging and determined the catch points.
The day started running out on us as the sun was setting. We have spent the last few days tweaking the shell and have a bit more to go before making the final attachment of the old shell to the new frame. The shell has been so twisted in all directions for so long on a frame that was collapsing under it. So this next step we are going to take slow and do properly.
This last picture above shows the shell on the new frame!
I will include the link to YouTube for the FUN time lapse we did as well ...
