Impatience is not a virtue
Well, I thought I had the frame all ready to go, but looks like there's more to do before I can get it painted up. The two rear body mounts are much more rusted than I thought, and they will have to be repaired. Choices are to either fabricate new sections, or order repair parts. I'll probably to a little bit of both. While I'm at it, I will likely take a closer look at the other end as well. I've already welded in some extra support for the center mounts, and they should be fine.
The A-arms are partway done. I need to hit the bottom sides with the POR-15, and then finish coat them.
Pics will follow. In the meantime, here's a wicked cool video of a twin-turbo 68 Camaro on the track.
Update: Frame repair parts are ordered. Should have them late this week or early next.
I like the Frankenstien concenpt of using old parts and new to create new life.
