Default 82 Frame off update

Here are a few pictures of the progress on my 82. I have been working on it since November and it seems like I am never going to finish

Trust me, I would trade you any day. I've been working on mine since two November's ago and I'm no where near you. Keep up the good work!

Looking good. Are you putting the Cross-Fire back on it or something else.

I am putting the crossfire back on it but I am hoping to eliminate all of the emission stuff. When I bought the car it did not have heads, intake or any of the polution stuff on it so I have purchased a crossfire set up off an 84 vette. I have heard of people taking the air pump and tubes off and the crossfire still works fine; I guess I will see if it is true

There's a current thread around here somewhere with some interesting Cross-Fire info. You might want to port that manifold.

I had the frame sandblasted because I could not find anyone around here that would dip it.
