Re: Front of the frame paint pics... (Patrick Tighe)
Nice work, Patrick.
I can't wait to get where you are. Right now I'm grinding off the residue weld left over after cutting off the rollbar brackets.
Next, I have to cut off the tow bar brackets and grind off the residue weld there.

..... it will bring a tear to an NCRS judges eye! :lol: :lol:
Mind you, there's probably a significant points deduction for it, even if it's not covered in the Judging Manual. ;) Some judges have no sense of ha-ha whatsoever.

Patrick ,
I've been taking plenty of pictures with a 35 mm but I have'nt got the technology to get them on the computer yet.I'm going out to visit my hi-tech brother in Az. on wed. so I will see if he can scan & post a few for me. Otherwise when I get back I'll have to break down and get a scanner & figure it out for myself. I should have the frame painted tommorow.

Patrick,
Looking really fine......I know exactly how you feel, as I just recently completed a total frame restoration...down to the primer. A project like this can get frustrating and seem at times overwhelming, but keep at it! The results are absolutely worth it.....
Enjoy,
Allen
PS: if you're interested check out pics I have posted in the C1/C2 forum.

Thanks Patrick
Come to think of it ,I think that is basicaly what my brother told me last year when I explained what I wanted to do.
Anyway I primed & painted my frame , A-arms and all the rest of the front end parts today. I took plenty of photos and will be bringing the camera with me anyway to Az. I would like to show it off after all that work!
Later Bruce
