I have been thinking of this for a few years and yesterday I took the frame inside my garage to clean it and evaluate the work to be done.
It has been sitting outside bare without any protection and the 2 struts are rusted and unusuable. By chance I have extra ones but today I will try to take off the rusted ones, every bolt is seized. Wish me luck.

The project is delayed cause the bulkhead seems not to be in line with the tunnel.
Anybody knows where to find a traight bulkhead near Montreal. Let me know.l

The project is put aside cause the bulkhead is bended and not in line with the tunnel !!
I would have to change it and dont know if it is worth the labor to restore the sled.

I could not get the bulkhead from Mike cause too big for shipping and becoming too expensive for a bulkh.. so I decided to buy a complete chassis.
I should have it in spring. In the meanwhile I bought a 91 (88B) with a broken motor. But that is another project.
