Hey looks great! I know when it comes time to put the body back on the frame the frame will usually have a lot of dust and such. What will you clean it with?

Thanks, Ryan

I agree your frame looks awesome. I would like to buy a spare frame and do the same. How hard is it to find a swb frame.

Thanks Jess for the pc info., Chevy orange for the engine paint?

Pulling my hair out on my harnesses, second one for the EFI, made the mistake of pulling shrouding off, ended up a big birds nest...I do have a nice GMPP aluminum manifold if you want to make a deal

Sometimes, I wish I stayed old school...

Pc looks great, and good work and thanks for the compliments
