Default 79 Frame almost done.

Finally getting somewhere again. I originally bought my 79 and restored the frame. Just got done about 3 weeks ago. Bought a new body and it came with a farme aready in pretty good condition but wanted to use mine. So pulled off the tubular a arms and tubular tranny xmember and put it on my frame. Now almost ready for body switch. Check out some pics and tell me what you think.
