 The SS496 is looking like a car agian! We finally mated the body back with the chassis using a body mount kit from OPGI. We also re-attached the doors, deck lid, and some steering stuff. Once the front sheetmetal is installed and the panels are all aligned, we'll finish the wetsanding and paint the car!
