Looks like all new flat sheetmetal forward of the rear floorpans and halfway up the firewall. Chassis looks nice and beefy. I'd be interested to see how you go with engineering with regard to chassis.
When you said you got the car from York, WA, I had a look at your profile and you're only 5 minutes away from me. I'm in Shoalwater. if you want to catch up and talk FC's and stuff, let me know and I'll give you my phone number. Cheers, John Title: My FC wagon Post by: parry on March 05, 2019, 09:45:21 AM Hi John the chassis has been inspected and passed now I have to have a stress test done when car is completed

With regard to the stress test, if it’s the same thing my engineer was talking about a few years ago, they will jack the car up at the rear corner and the go to the opposite side and open the doors and then repeat on the other side. If they can open the doors with no problem, then the frame is strong enough.
Jim Title: Re: My fc wagon Post by: parry on March 05, 2019, 06:54:08 PM The engineer told me they lock down the front end place dileindicators under chassis and then place weigh in back on one side and check for movement not sure yet

His answer was, you are changing your vehicle from standard and modifying the chassis so I need to be sure the vehicle is structurally sound and it is my name going on the report, so I need to be statisfied that it will not fail.
