Pretty expensive glass....

Like the $20K+ shirt I got with my Harley, or the $4K shirt I got with my Tremec TKX transmission.

I’ll put it away and never see it again, just like the last one. 😝

All the parts that go on the frame are now done. The frame is ready to be assembled, if it was painted lol. After that I got all that stuff done I moved on to the air ride compressor.

I will never tell. Only because I forget which person I bought them from , because I’m old, but it is a member. I’ll see if I can find the receipt.

Did something.

Very nice and I love the paint booth LOL

I know it doesn’t look different in pictures but I repainted the frame with a satin to eliminate the shine. I’m locking the doors to the basement to keep everyone out and gain some peace and comfort, let’s see how long that lasts. My goal is to build the frame, that picture was taken 5 minutes ago. Wish me luck. lol. 😝

The frame looks fantastic!  I see you have the same convertible floor pan body mounts which have been backordered since January.  I hope yours are sound.  

After watching project farm on youtube evaluate rust paint.  I am currently planning on rust oleum brush-on when I get it back from the sand blaster.  Thoughts?

My brother used that but sprayed it( can get to the hard to reach places easier) he said he liked it. I used KBS frame paint but it was super shiny. Didn’t like it.

I wish I could remember the name of the spray can stuff I used..... Found it at Princess Auto.

It's the same stuff I used to redo my cracked dash. It seemed to work for the nooks and crannies in the frame, so I thought it'd do the same for the dash.

Holds up pretty good. 

[Stuckin70s]

Interesting... Other than local shows and occasional road trips I am not picky this is not show piece.  I do agree the flat is a better way to go.  For now, I am still scraping ziebart so I can get it to the blaster. 

Thank you.

If you are talking about the two mounts on each side of the front of the frame, all Monte’s are double in the front for the body.

Didn’t get done what I wanted but at least I got somewhere. lol.

Dennis, Progress sounds like a forward motion to me. I do miss the sneakers though! I also liked the fact you locked the doors!!!  LOL   Glad you are back on this path!!!!

I made it about an hour and a half before I got pulled. I just went and finished the front sway bar and torqued and pinned all the tie rods. I made a big boo-boo though, I forgot to put the upper control arm bumpers in the frame. Not an easy one to cheat fix. I hope I don’t have to pull the springs. lol.

Good Luck with that Boo Boo. I don't think there will be enough weight to hold frame down to get them in. See what happens when you rush!!  Thats me with the comp awhile ago!!  Lol

Looking good Dennis!

I’ll try and set the engine and transmission in it for weight

Just put it down on your "to do list" later in the build, but if you are putting the engine/trans in, that will do it. Lookin' good! At that speed of assembly, you should have it done say, next week?

Frame yes. Well maybe. The cover has not been off the rusty body in almost 3 years ( may not be anything left) so that’s a big fat no on the car. lol. 😂
