Default [Project 79] - Project Vettefinders update

We completed the frame painting and we'll be receiving our suspension parts from Vansteel this week.

On to the next thing.

WOW !!! That's a nice documentation site....You guys are doing a great job...

This is what scares me the most about old cars...the mounting bolts are basically gone.



And I won't comment about the chicken legs on page 14...

I am amazed myself what an incredible job the alkali dipping process makes. The entire frame looks as good as new inside and out.

Desertdawg, I don't think you want to say that to him in person. "Don't tug on Superman's cape" and all that! :D I think the angle makes his legs look small. Rowers (he was in the olympic trials) have huge quads, but small calves.

It's okay - DD and I are used to people like us. Fat guys have huge quads -and- huge calves. ;)

I told you this project was gonna be awesome once again, and you told me it wouldn't. Looks like you lied!!
