Default Spring cleaning last weekend

The weather was nice enough last Sunday to get the garage cleaned out & get back to work on the Vette. Especially since I finished the new interior on the Mustang :D

Anyway thought you guys might want to see where I stand. Frame & suspension are done and this weekend I should be able to get the rest of the engine assembled.

Jim

B--U--T--ful !!

Nice work, Jim. I'm close behind you right now, as the frame is waiting for a
final coat of paint (suddenly got colder here). In the meantime, just clean and
paint all the stuff to be bolted on.

Do you think you'll be driving this season ?

:seeya

Thanks Guys - I'm getting there :D little by little.

Dave - probably won't be driving till next year. I should have the drive train, in soon & then I'll strip the body. There's enough bodywork to keep me busy till the fall. Then I'll send out for paint. Been doing side jobs on Saturdays to help finance the project. Doesn't help to have two in college :eek:

At least when the wifes done next year there will be some help.

Jim

Your frame looks great. It takes a lot of time to make one look that nice. Keep up the good work and be sure to keep us posted. Pics are always cool with us. :thumbs:
