Attention-getting and rather Encouraging in a way that supports my commitment and struggle to ever actually taking on something that I did not originally own ...

OK I have refill and wait for more ...

Great job, wish I could be there to help. I always enjoy a frame off. Quick progress also.

 

[nascar03]

Very quick progress.
No foolin' around going on there!!

Thanx for letting us follow along, but me thinks you sure missed a few steps for us unknowing people!
Ha ha

Wow RC you are getting this car whipped up fast. Full frame swap and the drivline and suspension on already. Clearly you are not getting enough help who distract you and drink all your beer.
Wish I was there to see all this happening as I have a dream to do the same thing. But not at all likely in 3 weeks.

Watching for more.

Hahaha. that's too funny!

I can't believe the frame would move like that! Holy Smokes! Nice to see new life put into that vette.

 

[taylorsk8]

Wow that frame is insane. I thought mine was bad with cracking going 2/3 of the way through both dog legs! Looking mighty fine with the replacement though.

[RC1]

Ha. Ya it was kind of funny just how bad it was

 

[rockitman]

Not Funny, scary, very scary.
Good thing you pulled it off !

 

[RC1]

That part is true to it was the body mainly holding the thing together. I could sees some signs of stress in the body's door jamb area
