Welded a bit on the c10 frame on Saturday but I ran out of gas on my welder so I worked on my dads impala a bit. Got the rear just about done just need some small adjustments and run airline.

Got my bottle filled today for my mig so I worked on my frame some and built my fuel cell mount. On the second pic the fuel cell is just resting on the mount. I also welded up some holes on the frame.

Brought the frame home today and cleaned up some of the welds from the holes I filled. Wire wheeled the frame and getting it ready for paint. Gonna eat some turkey tomorrow then come home and work on frame. I finally have a "fire" lit that hopefully doesnt burn out any time soon.

Still at it guys... Giving my front and rear frame rails some extra loving

all the areas that have seen a grinder and being prepped and worked with filler and filler primer to hide all my rookie grinding gouges I did when I first started. Frame should be painted tomorrow evening.
