Default 82 Frame off update

I took some time off of this project but I am now starting to work on it again. Here are a few pictures of the frame before I put the body back on it.

Is anyone looking for a body dolly? I have the steel one that is in the picture above and it worked pretty well for this project. The only thing that I would change would be the wheels; it could use a heavier duty set. You would have to pick it up at my place in Champaign, IL.

I would let it go for $50 if someone picks it up.

You dont see the 80-82 frame alone very often.

You going back mostly stock or making some upgrades?

The engine is .030 over, flat top pistons, different heads, aftermarket cam, Edelbrock intake and Holley 650 carb. The crossfire was missing when I bought the car so I bought a crossfire set up from an 84 but could never get it to work right. The only other non stock item that I am leaning towards is 17" TT rims.
