Re: 68 project
Awesome. Congratulations. You will be rolling in no time. That was nice of Santa to bring your stuff early. I'm not even aloud to see, hold, or anything. And have been told its not even being stored here whatever I'm getting. And its still up in the air. Could be coal.

Re: 68 project
Spent some time at the shop today. I recently decided I was not happy with the condition of the rear frame section from the coil spring perches back so I cut the rear frame off today and welded the new section back on. Also had a visitor drop in from the forum, Jhawk73 , it was great meeting him and seeing his sweet 72. That big block sounded good.

Re: 68 project
Will be heading to the shop here soon to finish welding up the frame today and start boxing it in. Time to turn the heat on this project if I am going to be driving it next summer.

Re: 68 project
A tutorial on my new dent removal, I love this tool. A tree limb had fallen on my hood and put a nice crease in it. As you will see in the first two pics.

Re: 68 project
First I take the 2" grinder and clean up the damaged area and mark the deepest part of the crease with a sharpie.
