Hey guys,
Here's a few pics of my ongoing restomod Buick project that I have in the works. I've been welding on the stock frame for the last few days that I had free and here's where I'm at so far...

Stock frame freshly removed.

Notice the lovely swiss cheese.

After blasting.

After 3 days of welding and grinding.

When time allows I'm hoping to have it boxed this week and then unto the underside of the frame for more welding and grinding...weeee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frame looks great. Are you going to paint or powdercoat it?

RobG · #5 03-24-2008, 08:43 AM

It'll get powdercoated.

This is my first frame -off project and I'm glad I'm doing the car this way and also not surprised why the frame get's stress cracks at the suspension pick up points. The factory welds are horrible.

glad to see you are boxing the frame... the rear suspension mount points can do with alot of reinforcements... rear LCA mount should be reinforced to the frame.. and the rear UCA and LCA mounts tied together...

SC&C have a wattslink for g-bodys that wil ship in mid april, but of you want the race version that welds in it ships now as far as i know...
