April 2004	A Rolling Chassis
		I connected up with Bill from the FFR forum and he was a wealth of information.  For example, he suggested I flip the Quad shock so the skinny half of the shock was mounted to the frame.  This gives more room for larger tires. For the vertical shocks I bought new Gabriel Gas Ryder shocks (#69755).
		Big evening as the "baby" took it's first steps.  It rolled out of the garage.  I can hardly wait until this baby starts to "run". This car is really light.  the front right tire is actually flat. Apparently my donor picked up a nail and there was a slow leak. Don't worry, I do plan on replacing the wheels and rims.  I thought this baby would look good in some Nike Air Jordan's once it knows how to run.
		It was not long though before the baby walked back into the garage and got it's gas tank installed or maybe I should say it's stomach installed.  lol At first it did not look like the gas tank straps from the donor car would fit but have faith, they did. You can also see how the battery is tightly fit. I might reconsider getting a new battery after all so it will be years before I have to worry about replacing it.
