Then move on!!

Today we got the frame notch sprayed black and mounted the A/C bracket up for good.

We had to take one frame mount bolt for the notch so I drilled and tapped the frame for another one. I made a 3-1/6" thich washer (plate) to cover both bolt holes to help hold the frame mount istead of two washers with one side on each ground because they are so close together.

Nice work on the frame notch Wayne!! One step closer to getting this bad boy fired up!!!! :D Gonna be a great car

Very well done sir! :) Seems like the little stuff seems to take the longest don't it?

Keep at it!

Thanks guys we're plugging away.

Got a little done today, we started to make a top bracket to hold the A/C compressor in the low mount position. We had it together and then the A/C connections for the compressor came in and of course it was going to be tight on one side so apart it came. I bent up another arm and Spacemwn welded it on. I cleanded it up and primed it today and I'll paint it tomorrow.
Here it is in etching primer.

The little notch is to clear a bolt on the compressor.
