Although it was another hot day in Hilton Head, we accomplished a great deal of work. This morning, we installed the new battery cable. It is clamped to the frame just below the brake line and routed to the battery location in the trunk or "boot".
We installed several of the electrical components as well as the body tags to complete the preparation of the engine compartment to receive the engine. The heat shields are in place as well.
Now, for the moment you have all been waiting for. We fitted the wheels to the axles, lowered the Healey to the floor and removed the rotisserie. 
It's beginning to look like a classic Healey again. The Healey appears to be so low and sleek now that it is on the floor. I suppose that is because we have been working on it at eye level for several months.
Tomorrow, I will be installing the fuel tank and straps. All the components have been refinished so the installation should not be time consuming.
On Monday morning, we plan to install the engine and transmission. The body work and paint work on the fenders and doors continues.
I remain excited...
