Is the car frame made of steel or aluminum?

I tore out the rest of the engine bay minus the brake booster and also the interior front. This is the point at which it becomes difficult because I have to sort all the wiring to figure out which wiring goes and which stays, as well as how to rewire the items I'm keeping. Wiring is a VERY fun activity for me but this sorting will test how many marbles my head has.

Wow ... Impressive !

Your Volvo frame is made of strong, durable, (Heavy) Swedish Steel. That's why they survive so well.

Yep. Those guys spent a great deal of money on those projects.
Blue one kind of gives me the creeps. Also, it will have a lot more tongue weight because of where the wheels are.

Abscate is in fine form this morning.

That was just a warmup

If you find a fancy French paint and apply , would your trailer tongue in Chic apply?

That one is nice but nowhere near what I want to be pulling. I do weird crap. When I try to do stuff the normal way, I still veer off that path and do weird crap. I'm gonna like this thing when I'm done with it. I like the way this trailer is coming along. Next update coming tomorrow morn after 8. Gonna be freezing, but by golly it's only 4 bolts and 2 pics.
