Reminds me of a guy that used to race at Lions on Sundays in the late '60's. A 426 Hemi powered '39 Cad LaSalle hearse.

I got one side just about done, still need to clean up the appearance a little, but i think this should work. Im assuming this will be beefy enough, there sure is alot of metal there.As soon as i get the other side done, then it will be on to derusting the rest of the frame.

The link is not working for me.
I still have to finish the other side Brick, but that should be done tonight! Then im gonna blast the frame, or try, i bought a harbour freight cheapy, so i will see how it does this weekend. If it gets the frame cleaner, then it will be worth it!! Then its onto suspention!! Ill keep you guys updated.

Blasting an entire frame with a Harbor Freight machine is NOT going to be fun - either for you or your compressor.Jack

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
