Progress Pics

Some progress pics. I painted the frame and adjoining parts with Eastwood 2K Ceramic paint. Very happy with the outcome. The Vidmar cabinet I picked up last night in my neighbor's trash pile. It was in pieces, I took it to the shop, assemble and lube it and everything works perfect, What a Find!!!

Re: Progress Pics

Looks great, but how come the front of the frame rails are cut off? WES

Re: Progress Pics

I am making a tilt front end. I'm using the radiator support brackets as my pivot point. I cut off the brackets and welded up all the mounting holes. I am using two spacers and a 5/8 shoulder bolt to allow the brackets to swivel. Had to cut off the frame horns for clearance. I did't think to install the brackets before taking the pictures. Thanks for the kind comments.
