Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Well, it's been a week, so it's about time for an update. Pics will come tomorrow, with hopefully more progress.

The suspension is on hold until I finish up the back half of the car. There's no use making things harder on myself, and halfassing things more than I already am.

I got the frame rails bent and welded in, and am now in the process of minitubbing to the frame rails. I removed the drivers side wheel tub, or what was left of it, only to realize that to continue, I have to fix the rear quarter due to the integration of the wheel tubs. Oh goody!

So, I'll start on that tomorrow. I have some tricks up my sleeves, since I'm too poor to buy brand new replacement parts, and too young to care right now. I'll see if I can't make something work and look acceptable.

And that's where she stands right now. I'm on spring break for a week, so I should be able to really crank on some progress and get going with the ol' girl. Theres a few deadlines I'd like to make and have the car back together in it's glory for, but it's only a few months away. I guess we'll see how the pennys stack up in the end..

So, I'll keep you posted!

-Sam.
