Todd's 69 Update Frame Strip Complete

Well I wanted to give everyone an update on the status of my restoration. I have finally gotten the last parts off of the frame. I wanted to say thanks to Gary, he helped me remove the final two bolts that were holding the rear trailing arms on today. Man those bolts can be a pain. Please check on the pictures on my MSN groups Picture Page. Picture link is on the left no need to join. Page 5 as the latest Pictures.

Plus I wanted to thank all the guys that came out to help or that have lent me a tool to use on my car. If I can be of any assitance to anyone please let me know, I would be glad to help.

Now I have the fun part of restore and put it back together. My Wife keeps asking me if I will be able to put it back together, man I sure hope so.

Thanks
Todd Z

As long as there is the Corvette Forum, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to put it together. Someone has been there at one point. Tell her to hang in there and it will eventually be back on the road.

Too bad you can't hot link to your pics. I got a kick out of the last one with you standing victorious over the frame.

Nice work! Your garage looks amazingly clean for just stripping the car down to the frame too.

Looks good, after a trip to the powder coater, you can start the long process of putting it all back together!!!!!!!

I hope she's not in too much of a hurry to go for a ride.
Once the frame is nice, EVERYTHING has to be nice.

My wife said the same thing. I did my frame and started the re-assembly in the Spring and I'm in the home stretch now. Keep plugging at it. Be very careful with working through where the car was hit. Make ultra sure that the frame is straight and if not, then get it straight. If it's not straight you will have alignment and fit issues for the rest of the build.
