    Nice car, but what's going on with that front frame? Looks like a frame from a IFS car?

    Amazed you took the time to paint it before the fabrication work to fix the chassis.
    All the grinding sparks and welding spatter will raise hell with that new paint. Unless you are not going to actually fix the frame so it matches the old school look of the body.
