Anyone have chassis pics

I know I've seen some really nice chassis pics on here. Anyone have any links to them?

I have quite a few photos of my chassis posted on my website. For some pics of the finished chassis go to my site and click the January 29th update. They're toward the bottom of the page. http://71corvette.100free.com

Mine aren't as pretty as Main Vette's pictures, but for someone who doesn't have a clue what they are doing with their Corvette, I think my '79 doesn't look too bad.

I did the frame with POR-15 and top coated with Kryolon semi-gloss black. When left in the sun, I found that the semi-gloss black POR-15 turned a kind of smokey dark-grey color.

umm... speaking of smokey, did you paint your exhaust with POR15? Or with anything for that matter?

Maine_Vette wondering how you carried the body onto the dolly. Did you have a couple guys help you?

I used an engine lift but it was a pain. In order to get the body to clear the engine and gas tank I had to remove the wheels and pretty much set the frame on the ground, the engine lift just didn't go high enough. When I put the body back on I think I'll build an overhead frame with a chain fall and use that, should go a lot more smoothly that way.

Good luck!

Sweet B71Vette, where did you buy you're straps. Thinking of lifting my body out with a hoist as well. Was this route easier.

What color blue is that...looking for that shade of blue
