Slowly but have tickets for the intervention in September.

Carriage bolts are a real pain.

Old frame is out.
What a bent up POS
Glad it's out and a couple of Sawzall blades later it's gone to scrap

Good progress! You said it was kinked and bent, but dude! That looks like a stock market graph or a heart monitor readout or something. Certainly not a frame rail.

Glad we decided to trash this frame.
And probably won't be one bolt my kid and I won't have a hand on thru this project

That looks like a hard shot!

After several hours of beating the floor brace into submission.
And a custom brace Bender thing tool

1st time in 6 months on wheels

KQQL IT · 07-25-2021, 11:32 AM

Slow going but progress

Looks great! Do I see some grill choices in the background?

KQQL IT · 07-26-2021, 03:53 PM

Sort of.
Love the 73/74 grilles but also the 81-87 stacked headlights.
Trying to convince ourselves it's a viable project. After the eleventy thousands of project we're already involved in.
