My lack of patience and your patience over the years and attention to detail that will produce a one of a kind set aside from the rest build....

Thanks Jess for the vote of confidence, it is a labor of love....keeps me out of the tap rooms. really enjoy my hours in the work shop. Wish we had my time to BS.

What part of the Jersey Shore are you located in? I visit the In- laws often around Ocean City

What's the next step in the build, now that you have a beautiful platform to build off of, or do I have to sit here and wait

Beautiful work on the frame.

Frame looks great! I would like to do the same but I know I would get it all apart and then get side tracked. Who knows how long it would take to get back together. I will just watch your project and enjoy the progress.

here you go Jimmy the cross member.... I actually put the Chassis Black Satin on one of the frame rails this morning, trying to prevent overspray so i will finish the other tomorrow.

[Dustmaker65]

That looks awesome Jess! Keep it going!!!

[ChuckDriver]

Slick!!

[zicc1835]

thanks guys ,,Im looking forward to completing this phase and moving on

[zicc1835]

I learned a whole lot about painting like parts on different days when temperature is a variable ,1st pic is yesterday so I threw a coat on the opposite frame rail today and there was big difference in the sheen 2nd pic. is actually the Satin look I wanted from the beginning. So I scuffed up the more glossy frame rail and shot it and wah-lah 3rd pic, I am finished with these rails ,(thank the Lord) and satisfied no hits no RUNs no errors. Im going to cover, protect and store these and start to work on the suspension......FINALLYNEXT...............

[GR8-68]

Looks great Jess, you are about to catch up with me

[yj4000]

Fantastic job! Can't wait to see more.

Ryan.

[zicc1835]

thanks for the nice compliments, I am so ready to move on to the crossmembers and suspension. I start to travel again next week so things will slow a little
