That powder coat looks 1,000 times better than what is on my frame. I with others forward to the "roller pic's". I started following Dan's build on the other board. Admire his fab skills.

Jim, for a while I considered just using rtv, but luckily NAPA had a gasket and washers at the one location. That gasket is about as thin as a paper bag! Years ago I used stuff like a Quakers Oats box to make gaskets, so the paper bag trick would probably work too.
Earl, thanks. The job the coater did was really better than expected. It is a frame after all, and never will be as smooth as a body, but it is very good.
Plan for today is to get more stuff bolted on. :D
Don
looks great!
glad everything worked out for you
cant wait to see that chassis assembled, and in color
You and I are playing thread tag! :LOL::LOL:
Don
Ok, got a little of the rear end assembled today. Didn't get a whole lot done as we had to quit early, but here are some shots of where we ended up.
Don
And a couple more........
Don
Verry cool :D
Don you have more pics then Dan so I am going to watch you putting this back together . Frame does look great .
Very nice work and the powder came out sweet... You guys have some serious skills without a doubt! http://www.tbucketeers.com/forum/ima...s/thumbsup.gif
that frame shines. What a nice contrast to the chrome 4 bar suspension. You guys do nice work!:cool:
Thanks guys. It feels so good to see this thing finally going together for the last time (hopefully :)). Still a lot to do, but this is a major step for sure.
Don
Won't be long you will have a rolling chassie, look's great.

Wow!! Looks great from the pics don, glad to see Dan moving forward. I cant wait to see it in person.
Thank you. Tonight we got a few more hours in and got the front axle and radius rods installed. It was like Christmas, opening boxes of chrome goodies, kinda brings out the kid in you. :D Still a lot more to do, but maybe a few more nights will have it rolling around.
Only bad spot was that a jackstand collapsed and crushed the end of one of my fingers. :eek: Right now it is about twice the size of the others, but that is the price the hot rod Gods demand every so often. Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt too bad.........YET. But I think when the swelling goes down it might be a different story.
Here are some pictures of what we got done tonight.
Don
Look on the bright side...........you'll heal. If you'd damaged the hardware, pc or chrome that would have been a tragedy!Quote:
