What were we talking about?

 

[mr. fix it]

I can't remember.. I got caught up in the video you posted. :yaayy:

 

[mr. fix it]

So I did some more sand blasting to day.
I found some past sins that were fixed with fiber glass..


the inner fender now weigh about 20lb's less each

 

[mr. fix it]

a few more bits blasted

They just don't make brake backing plates like this anymore..

No wonder why these cars weighed 4700+ lb's

 

[mr. fix it]

And now for some nice painted shots..

 

[Zymurgy]

Beautiful moving right along.

In my opinion , your project points out one of the big advantages of the C body. the removable stub frame is a much better design as far as strength and repairability. if my B body had similar frame rust the car would probably be too expensive to repair. whereas your project looks like fun and doesnt require welding! job well done, Eh?

Everything is better on/in a C body..... never understood the infatuation of the stereotypical muscle car over the "big cars".
