Yes and no. Most of the outside frame is clean enough where a quick wire wheel is all it needs. I will have someone spray in the holes and get what they can on the inside. We have already fixed all the mounting holes and now its on to boxing the frame :D

All the way out Where did all the space go! and of course the typical gbody rust/rot 5 mounts needed work the rest were in good shape. Driver side #6 and #2, passenger side #7, #6 & #2

Sliding out the frame Almost out Big thanks to my buddy in the picture who has been putting in 10+ hour days with me and is my go to for any questions and advice

Getting everything on wheels. Sliding the frame out on the passenger side.

and so it begins! The car has been limped around for the past two years, moving from storage place to storage place waiting for me to have the space to begin work. Well, Merry Christmas! At the beginning of the month we moved into a new house with a 2 car + garage and I now have my shop space...

Re: My 81' Project Started a little body work. I am shaving everything on the car so I neede to fill in the trim spot in the center. I worked at MAaco about 4-5 years ago for maybe 6 months (terrible management). I had never done more than sand and paint before then and I watched a few of the...
