Pics of my parts and the damaged pinion yoke.

She's coming along very nicely. Good call on the powder coating the frame.
That sucks about the yoke, at least they are going to send out another one ASAP. Keep us posted.

Sweet looking parts, sorry to hear about the yoke. I think there are powder coats that match alot of paint colors. I'm not sure if Caswell can match colors. Its looking good.

Got the frame back today. The firewall is getting body worked and blocked. Also decided to shave the cowl too. What was supposed to be just an LS 6.0 & T56 Magnum upgrade is beginning to spiral out of control.

Allow me to explain.

I have since taken the body off of the frame and powdercoated it and replaced the 12 bolt with a Currie 9" with a Strange center section. Now I have decided to go ahead and shave the drip rails, flush mount the front and rear glass to give it a more modern day look and get rid of the stock molding and then repaint the whole car, same color of course. I also am getting a '59 Impala dash custom fitted into it with a custom console too. I'm also waiting on some goodies to come in the mail. They should be here next week. That's all for now!

The frame looks great. I like the 59 dash Idea it should look good.

Very cool. This beast is moving right along.

Wassup guys, just a quick update. Project has been moving a bit slower. Well...I had to slow it down some. I've been spending money like crazy. LOL!! Anyway, the frame is being reassembled and I dropped the rear end off at the powdercoat shop today. Did some small changes to the 9". As you can see, for a cleaner look I had my shop guy take off the spring perches since I have coilovers in the rear. He also added a tow tab next to the lower trailing arm mount just in case I ever have to get it towed. Also, the shop has began to do some light blocking to the car to fix the small dings. Since I will be going with the same color and the car was taken to metal the first time I built the car, we will only do light blocking and rough up the paint with a soft grit then reshoot it and clear it. Of course, wet sand and buff it until it shines like new nickel. Besides, I drive the hell out of it. There's no way I would put a $10k paint job on it if someone else paid for it.

That's all for now.
