"Rollin" BD shell


A winters work on my BD has now ended. The van is almost completely disassembled, and the shell is rollin on some new axles. The summer has set in and it's zwitter time. The schedule for this summer is tight, so the BD will have a rest until the snow is falling again. At lest the shell, there are plenty of pieces to cuddle in the summer nights. Hopefully next winter the project will hit a whole different paste =)

Swedish barndoor magic

Found this cool thread on a swedish forum. How often have you not heard the complaining over the rusted out Barndoors, often missing the entire chassie. Here is a classic example, missing everything between the axles. Making a new chassie up front, and weld it in with both axles remaining in the car. And wholla, you have a solid roller. Maybe not THAT simple, but sure a clever way of solving the problem. One stop to wonder if this would be the easiest on my project as well. Just have to decide it first...
