Ronnie-

If you can't persuade that crossmember out with the hammer... you can always cut it in half with the sawzall. It's not good for much more than scrap after you install the new shock crossmember!

Made it up to Nate's today - looking forward to getting some stuff in this weekend

That and I didnt buy the rear kit, wasn't in the budget at this time. Can't wait to see how they look when you get them back from the powdercoater.

CheyenneShop · 03-04-2011, 11:32 AM

Well it seems like I have been more driving around picking up parts and stuff then actually working on the truck. So yesterday i tried to get a few things done!

Met up with the Powdercoater yesterday

Nice progress! Parts are looking GREAT!!!

CheyenneShop · 03-04-2011, 11:38 AM

I should be able to make some good progress today. I hope to get the frame cleaned up and painted - Porterbuilt - Stage II installed, trailing arms cleaned up painted and new bushings installed. - So pretty much have the rear half buttoned up!! We'll see

Here is a little project me and my son have been working on - no wonder I can't get anything done on the 68'

Ya - my son joined Scouts and this is our first Pinewood Derby. They said the parents could do one too - so my son was like Dad you gotta do one - of course I bit and have gotten a little to into it.

We have our race tomorrow so we'll see. I really don't care about the race for me. He did a real cool car too so that part is exciting!

**lolife99** · 03-04-2011, 12:39 PM

Cool derby car!
Your coated parts look great.
How much did you spend on the powdercoating?
(If you don't mind saying?)
