Default Lookin Good!

Nice to see the sheet metal getting fitted. Looks like you were able to get everything to line up well. Looks like the car is going to turn out great. Like you said, do it right the first time and you don't have to redo it later.

Boy Michael, I thought that frame looked great the day we delivered it, but since you have worked your magic on it, it really looks "GREAT"sitting in your car....I saw what sheet metal work you had done when we were there, but with the front sheet metal in place,,,your car looks fantastic!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Yea it does ... I sat there and looked at lines on my car for quite awhile, and it's only in primer.

Thanks!

Yeah, with the GM sheetmetal I took off it all lined up pretty good. The doors are another thing with the new skins! Thanks again.

Thumbs up



I agree the car is looking great. There is nothing like the feeling of working on it with no rust or grease in sight...

Thanks ... it is nice to see everything clean and ready for paint!

I took the fiber disc to the header panel and drilled out the spot welds and got it down to metal and ready for reassembly and epoxy .... figured I'd saved the rest of the parts why should the header panel be any different?

Thanks for looking ...

Cool Update 8/9

Doing some bonding and saving my header panel! Took it done to metal and sandblasted the braces and used 3M bonding to put it all back together ..... came out nice, now to sand the edges and get it in epoxy!

And the little brown truck came by .... another project to get started on here real quick!


Rusted brace ... GRRRRR!

Braces off and ready for stripping!

Bonded, sealed and very strong!

All back together and better than new!

Next project

Thanks for looking .....

Nice job Chief, talk about taking it to the limit. Better than new. Those frame connecters will keep you busy for a while.
