Last night I extracted the chassis from my garage. I had built a wooden frame to support the body while I worked on painting the chassis side of the body. Unfortunately I built it around the chassis so I had to modify it slightly to move one of the support legs further out so it would clear the rear end tires...plus I had to remove the rear wheels and use my jack as a trolley to move the chassis under the support beams of the body stand...not a big deal but it took time...after the frame was removed I swept up and remove some old worn out carpet for disposal...time: 2 hours...
This morning I hooked up the trailer and backed it into the driveway and loaded the chassis on my myself!! I was impressed with myself that I could do it single handed...the ramps were a bit too steep so I had to jack up the back of the chassis and again use the jack as a trolley to move the rear wheel onto the ramp. I think I might have scared the bottom of the frame a bit when it hit the trailer ramp the first time-hard to know...not a big deal...time 1 hour....
Now off to buy some hold down straps....plus I have to take some pictures before I head down the highway...
