[6pack] Andy Packard's TR250 chassis and body marriage

[apackard68 at comcast.net]

The body went on the chassis today!  We were a little low on manpower, but had just enough resourcefulness to pull it off.  Our first attempt trying to roll the chassis under the body with the body lifted by a fully-extended engine hoist was unsuccessful due to the chassis not able to roll completely into position without hitting the legs of the hoist.  The body shop owner stated he wished we had a block and tackle system from the rafters.  Fortunately, Dave Edwards, a TR3 owner and the one club member able to help on short notice is ex-Navy and an active sailor and had brought a block and tackle system with him.  In a few short moments of set up, the body was up and then down on the chassis.  Most attachment points lined up easily with only one outrigger floor attach point needing some manipulation.  The stripe will be applied early next week and it will be back in my garage soon.
