Default Frame isfinally completed!

I accomplished my goal, to have the chassis ready to roll and completed by the end of the year.

I think I nailed this one, if not, I'm close.

See photos below.

Default Very nice !

I am going to send a link of this topic to a buddy of mine that has
a '66 BB roadster in parts and pieces. He needs to get at your stage
and then will be focused on finishing.

Nice Job ! Keep up the good work

Thanks for all the positive comments!

I have been thrashing every weekend and free moment to get to this point. I plan tomorrow to finish the engine and hopefully have it in the frame by Wednesday or, sooner.

The body is coming along as well. I need to finish the oops on the inner fender and then paint the engine compartment. I am in the process of installing all the correct firewall wall insulation and then will complete the installation of the engine compartment components.

Once the above is completed, I plan to remove ALL the exterior badging and related items (handles, locks etc) and color sand with 2500 and buff to final.

This has been a labor of love and cannot wait till I have fire in the hole start driving this bad boy once again and share with all! My target to complete is within the next 2 months!

Peace to all and may 2010 bring us all out this economic mess that we are in.

Eric
