I have to get it done soon
Well i've been taking my time on my 68 Gmc getting the body ready for paint but now i might have to rush it. The reason is that my Lifted 77 Chevy that i am driving right now as my daily driver has 3 cracks in the frame in different places and i need to find a frame. I know alot of you would probably just get rid of the 77 but i have so much money in it that i would like to put another frame under it and keep driving it but that will take alot of time so i'm gonna have to finish the 68 and use it for my daily driver so i can fix the 77. Well this really sucks...

Re: I have to get it done soon
i would at least weld up the cracks in the frame for now. and it wouldn`t take too long to make it alot more safe...

Re: I have to get it done soon
Well i think i'm gonna keep driving the 77 for awhile and hopefully find a parts truck to get a a frame from. Then once i find a frame i am going to give myself a deadline of two weeks to get all of my body, lift, and drivetrain onto the new frame. During the two weeks i'll drive my camaro.

Re: I have to get it done soon
good choice....ive been driving my c10 going on a year now as my d.d and it still leaks water from the holes in the top of the windsheild frame and its still got all the rust holes in it same as the day i bought..so i really aint one to talk..most people dont even seem to notice the rust..i still get compliments every time i drive even tho its swiss cheese
