So after many months of body work I took a break and started on the frame and suspension. Also worked a few days on my buddies 67 GTO.
I replaced the body mounts on the frame mine were so rusted and wallowed out. I also welded the frame solid and ground down all the factory welds and splatter. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0203.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0205.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...IMAG0225-1.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0204.jpg Then I painted it with Eastwood 2k with ceramic this tuff is so thick dont shoot it through a gun you care about it takes forever to clean and still cant get it all. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0238.jpg So I sold my motorcycle and went shopping on Lateral-g I picked up my front coilovers from Bill Fadden his buddy posted them for him. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...IMAG0223-1.jpg I bought CPP uppers and stock lowers with CPP ball joints and Energy Suspension Bushings. Ran all grade 8 bolts with advise from mild2wild. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0241.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0240.jpg |
WOW!!! That's a lot of patching. Kudos for taking it on, Hope you make it to the finish!

We are almost caught up to where I am now just finished the frame today. Installed the CPP sway bar and just painted and installed the spindles waiting for my brakes to come in.
http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0252.jpghttp://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0251.jpg Yesterday I shaved my own firewall used left over metal from the old floor welded in the bolt holes and grinded it smooth, also found a ton of rust in the dashboard cut it off ordered a new one that didn't have all the holes in it so I can smooth the dash. Don't know if I am going to make my own dashboard or leave it metal. I kinda like the look of the shaved metal. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0248.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0250.jpg It was kinda late when I finished the dash so the pictures aren't that great. Before with the holes in the dash. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/108b0d4a.jpg Dash off had a lot of patch work forgot to take pictures. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0019.jpg New dash http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0247.jpg http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0246.jpg |
I picked up my tires a couple weeks ago from Gaetano Cosentina AKA trackjunky.Thank you very much for your help.Put the front fender on to see how they fit. Just motivates you a little more to see it like this.
http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...y/IMAG0230.jpg Back view they seam to fit great had about 1/4 inch to play with. I was a little nervous when I got them they looked so wide I thought no way but it was a perfect fit. http://i870.photobucket.com/albums/a...IMAG0232-1.jpg |
