This was a (singularly?) unique case; this particular car came out of Arizona (from a high shcool shop class, of all places) and had zero rust. For clarification, I'll repeat that no sheetmetal had to be replaced. All the floors, rockers, sills and outriggers are intact and original to the chassis.Patrick67BJ8 said:..."Just got chassis back". Do you mean chassis without body on it or just the subchassis? I've heard two thoughts about putting the engine back in the car before the body is attached and then after the body is done.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing? My own "California car " (albeit, San Francisco-Sacto & ski trips to Lake Tahoe) had rust in the doglegs/sills/rockers and some minor rust-through in the LH floor/outrigger & both toeboards.
So, the usual <span style="font-style: italic">how do we weight the chassis</span> problems and solutions did not apply in this case.
The transmission has the least wear/outright damage that I have ever seen in a Healey; the gears were 99.9% perfect. Even the laygear/layshaft showed no wear.
LBill: this stand uses a "peg" to index the "adapter", so maybe that's the difference. It's obvious (by the color) where mine was sourced from...
