I loved reading and seeing the history of your Chevelle. The vintage Pepsi cup took me back to my childhood. Its also great seeing the next caretakers getting involved early. I will definitely be watching this build. So far you are headed the same direction my 70 Chevelle Malibu is headed.

I'm no GregWeld, but I like to think I can bond metal together sometimes. I will say though, I have learned a lot here on this site. If you notice, I'm usually here most of the day.

How's yours coming along? Are there updates? No, because my notification says so.

Ok guys. I need some idvice. At this point when I finish the frame. I'm ready for the body to go back on to fit engine and trans. Should I go ahead and have the body blasted or wait till later when the body will come off again?

What is the normal sequence on things like this?

Heep, I guess it would be okay to just have it blasted. But, I wouldn't finish anything, be it paint, powdercoat, etc. until it's time to avoid any mishaps.

I'm thinking I need to go ahead and blast myself. I really just don't want to take the body off more than I need to. The HEEP was a little different that I did not need to do anything to the chassis. So once the body was on, it stayed on.

The way I see it right now, I blast the body , then put back on the frame. then set the driveline, and that way I can do body work and build everything else. Then blow it apart, paint, powder and reassemble to full build. Sounds simple when you write it down. Should be done in about a week.

Of course, I'm no RShop or Ironworks. To bad I didn't find Gregweld on ancestry.com, or I could call uncle greg for help.
