Hah! No Chrys, not classified. Disassembled. I posted pics quite a while ago showing the hull roughed in. I have the spring supports mounted to one side. I was hoping to complete one side, at least in regard to suspension, then move to the other side. Track tensioning, as well as instalation and removal remain a concern. I've been thinking of cutting away the rearmost portion of my hull and making it modular with regard to the final drives and motor mount. In this way I can slide the entire drive unit forward or rearward if needed. This would also simplify the front idlers/tensioners. I'll post pics soon!
