surgical prep

The patient is prepped and in the surgical suite!

I mean... I got the tail-receiver welded up & bolted on the Limo this weekend. And I evicted the Firefly from the garage and moved the Prius inside.



Here the tail is on the receiver, but it needs nip & tuck and some other adjustments before I can completely secure it to the car. (Thus the support at its end.

I can confirm: the tail's width is bang on. The height looks very close too.
