MORE ON THE ROTISSERIE

As Elmer Fudd would say, "I'm weady for some west and wewaxation".  Don and I have been all over that Healey today...not easy for two old men, but we did it.
Don began the day by continuing to remove the front suspension.  One of the A arms was a bit stubborn and the  fasteners had to be ground off and punched out.  Part of the steering gear is also firmly rusted in place.  We made some headway on that but finally had to do something else for a while.  I continued the cleaning and painting process on the suspension parts.  They are looking great.
We moved the rotisserie into place and began to align it with the car.  Paxton and Robert came over to "supervise" and now we have a good game plan for tomorrow.  Bill will be back in the shop tomorrow with more cleaning and sandblasting.  I will purchase the necessary U-bolts and backing plates to attach the car to the rotisserie and maybe get some of that completed.
Sorry there are no pics...I forgot the camera again.

Later,
Tom
