Alliance Review Article

Pics from Feb... some are from the shop... some are from when I visited last month.  Final body work and lots of completed mechanical work took place.
 
Big news: Motor is running!!!  Motor and transmission (that Dad and I pulled only last summer) have been rebuilt, reunited and placed back on the finished chassis.  I don't have pics yet showing this but am hoping to get them soon....
 
There is a lot going on right now that is not depicted in these shots... more to come soon...
