Nice Mark. Looks great !!!
New trailing arm assemblies !! sweet.
New Aarms ? Are these part of the VBP ultimate suspension package ?

Busy this weekend ? Maybe I can stop by with the kids at some point -

OK - so how about some details ?
What did they paint it with ? POR/primer/paint/powder coat
Was it dipped before painting, or blasted ? DOH - just re-read first post == blasted.
Did you pick a color ? (It looks like gray from my house).

The gray looks Lousy !! You better swap frames with me and start over.
:D :jester :lolg:

Lastly, looking to the future: Have you decided which body mounts to use ?
I bought energy suspension poly mounts from ZIP (on sale now).
I'll bring 'em by this weekend to check 'em out.
Were your original aluminum ones corroded to hell, like mine were ?

Dave, I think they used some kind of epoxy or something, its used on all their corvette frames. It looks grey in the pic buts its actually black. I wouldn't be happy if it was grey, so I lucked out, I don't have to swap frames with you. :lol: I am looking at the rubber body mounts, I heard that poly was to stiff, but what you hear isn't always true. If you come over I'll check out your mounts, maybe I will change my mind. When I took the original ones out, they were so bad they just crumbled.

Wow, that looks really nice. You are going to have a beautiful car when you are done. I love clean and painted parts. Keep the pictures coming!

Just curious...
Did you have the frame welded/ reinforced/ straightened at all??

Crash Dummy

Totally amazing to see some of these frame-off restorations. Looks like you are getting to the point of spending more money mpro. :lol: It should be a jewel when you get gone. :cheers:
