Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Not much progress but some, got the core support out and removed the rear crossmember to move it back for the gas tank. Still need to notch the lower frame rails out to get it up where it needs to be. Been really busy lately, hopefully I will get some more time soon and get some real work done. Here are a couple pics.

I got the gas tank mocked up, still need to do a little more grinding, and make the mounting straps. Still haven't had time to even get my engine out of the box, and now with football starting I can pretty much count Saturdays out.

Thanks! I would be interested to see what they go for out there. If you can pick them up pretty cheap it would be awesome. My brother has an old Dodge truck of dad's that we are thinking about putting on a newer car frame like a 300 or Charger. If that happens we will probably go out there and pick one up. Worked on the tank a little more last night, got the rear crossmember moved back and put in the rails for the tank to pull up to installed. Still need to get the straps figured out but coming along a little.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Keep it up man. There are quite a few of us Okies that have projects in the works. One day, we might all have them done enough to go cruising.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Unless I just start knocking rivits out for no reason, it's all the way down! I was thinking about that yesterday, it can only get better from here. At least that's what I keep telling my wife.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Been trying to finish the frame welds so I can get this thing blasted and painted. I used the sections that I cut out of the frame for reinforcement. Still have to weld on the drivers side cab mount and I should be done. Here are some pics of the reinforcements.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I got the top of the frame painted, did two coats last night. Now I just need to flip it and do the bottom. I am totaly amazed how well this paint lays down and levels out. It almost looks like it was powder coated. The pics don't really do it justice. It's going to be a shame to cover this thing up with the rusty old body.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
Thanks guys, I ended up getting two coats on the frame and one on the rearend. I still need to paint the trailing arms, but will have to buy some more paint. As soon as the last coat gets dry I will flip the frame and get the engine mounted.

Re: Project “Learning as I Go”
I got my engine mounting plates, mounts, and towers installed. I had to take a little notch out of the AC compressor bracket to get it back in past the plate. Should be able to get the engine in tomorrow night.
