THE HEALEY IS ON THE ROTISSERIE !

Finally !  We completed the mounting process.  It was a bit difficult, but it always is.  It was a new rotisserie frame and required some alteration.  These frames are usually mounted to the bumper mounts which are traditionally attached to the car's frame.  This car had no such usable frame attachments.  Annoying but not insurmountable.  It was necessary to fabricate an additional outrigger for the rear end of the car.  
Aside from the rotisserie struggle, we packaged all the newly painted suspension parts and put them in a secure place.  Now  we are ready to lift the car, remove the rear axle and begin the cleaning and sandblasting process on the frame.  Pictures will follow on Monday.
Tomorrow we will be delivering the engine and transmission to the machine shop for assessment and the necessary repairs.

Party on,
Tom
