nice work man-a-fre i know the feeling of wokring alone... i got friends close by, but most of em are of the "hey look at the time, my wife is gonna be lookin for me soon" sort when it comes time to ask for a hand with bigger shit... oh well, i have learned the fine art of moving things with chainfalls and winch's over the years. Thank God for hydrolics
wait till you guys see this thing when its "done" we've got some ideas and i think its going to blow your mind how cool it is tim
dude i love your car was bout in same shape a 25 Dodge coupe i picked up last night thinking same for frame did you build it from stratch or is the rear a jegs summet kit ?
the wife originally picked the weld wheels for the rims since it was "our" coupe but since then i got her her own 31 coupe builder and the welds she picked are goin on it.Thanks to Tim and 49Merc for ingenuity on this project.Tikifreak13 i built the frame from scratch using 3/16wall 2x3 rectangular bought it from 49MERC he works sales at local steel place.Have blueprints if intrested i could scan em to ya.Most people look down on the pro street thing but i figured i didnt have any panels to cut out on my trashed body and the original frame was broke in 4 pieces and years ago gas welded back together,pretty sad shape.i took the cheapest route. got a total of $125.00 in the peremiter frame.Thats materials and buying a good front a crossmember.sorted through several cracked front crossmembers before finding a decent one.
