I took a second look at the black and white picture with the frame. Fantastic! Calendar quality.

I used the ones that were on there still, they were in pretty decent shapes still, not broken.

As the Old Girl Sit's, Chassis flush the other day to get rid of some of the crud out from the chassis

And As It Sits awaiting a Full Sandblast to the Chassis and a New Respray As well as nearly all New Chassis hardware. Then Restore Rubber Items like Bump Stops and New Bushings in the suspension link such as Sway bars and Diff Limiting links, New Gearbox and Engine Mounts, All New Rubber Brake Lines and Steel Brake Lines will be fitted once chassis is blasted and Painted.

Hey Mike, have you considered a full tear down? If you're doing to all this trouble why not go the whole hog?
I'd hate to see you go to all this trouble and then cut corners with the chassis. Remember even the slightest speck of rust, dust or dirt will look like crap in 2-4 years. Proper preparation in 98% of this restore [THUMBS UP SIGN]

Hey tim, can you shed some light as what you mean by cutting corners.
plans are to sandblast chassis, repair x-member prep and prime.
restore brakes, new wheel cylinders hoses and steel lines ect.
Not rebuilding diffs or engine
