Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I finally got the rest of my sheet metal back from my painter. Everything is painted, minus the bed floor. At the last minute, I decided to switch to a wood floor.
This past weekend I had my wife and two kids help me hang the front fenders and grill. It was a very tense family moment, but everything went well LOL!👍

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
I'm envious of the wood bed upgrade. I wish I would have had the coinage to do that mod to mine.
I had a salvageable steel floor so I went with it. Quote:

Your right about the red. I sometimes catch myself in a lawn chair with a cold refreshment starring at it.

Installed hood hinges and hood latch. I'm glad I PC them black.

The grill is loosely bolted in. I am waiting to install the hood before I secure the front clip.

I built a stand to hold my bed sides and started undercoating my wheel wells. I wish I would have under coated them before paint but it worked out.

Re: Started my first frame off - 72 SWB LS1, 6-spd manual
Thanks Mike!
I pulled the left fender back off to realign the drivers side door and install the door latches. I wasn't happy with the gaps. I'm really glad I had one of my buddy's over to help.👍
