We then do a lot of hammer and dolly work to make sure that all surfaces are even and uniform before final grinding. We step down the grit getting finer and finer and then finish it with a DA and then a red scuff pad by hand.

Well you seem to have perfected it. Your work is amazing.

Hey guy's lookin real good.:thumbsup:

Very Nice :thumbsup:

Keep up the great work guys!

Tubbing is all done

Looks awesome, I have a 67 convertible and wish I could have a chassis like that.

Nice build, I love the '66. What tranny are you guys plugging behind the BBC?

I'm also liking the Camaro in the background with the Nelson bullet sitting between the framerails

It is wide range Tremec 6 speed. 1st 2.97 and 6th .5. Should run about 1800rpm at 80mph with gears and tire set up.
