[CruizinKev]

thx guys! yeah on front there's also another tow hook. but I think they bolted them on the frame. I think the rear hook was been (re)welded by the pre owner..

today we brought frame to the sandblaster's shop. I'll blast that thing tomorrow! 8)

UMI swaybar kit, UMI rear lowers & adjustable upper arms

UMI control arm / frame braces (but I have black colored), OPGI 2" lowering springs front & rear

bilsteins, energy suspension body bushings and new body bolts

And I'll get SC&C's frame brace soon:

just received this pic from my buddy last night

he said already reweld almost all factory weld on underside of frame, welded control arm brackets in and boxed the sides
man he's fast - I just wanted to be there when he starts because I need to learn how to weld

what it cost ya to blast the frame?

 

[CruizinKev]

I'm here in Germany - so it was 110 Euro, thats about $150. I blast it by myself and it took about 2.5 hours.
My buddy did a lot of welding today and its almost finished. Still waiting for the new rear frame rails.
Now at the moment I'm thinking about to galvanize/zincing the frame so it'll be 100% forever rustfree...

Nice work, and alot of nice parts going in there. How did you do with the rear frame rails? I can't tell in the pictures.

 

[CruizinKev]

Thx! I'm still waiting to receive them. I just bought new ones from http://www3.sympatico.ca/conradlozier/

new pics of today, my buddy at work!

almost there! 8)

Nice welds! You can't go wrong with Conrad's frame rails. He makes quality parts. You should have one strong frame there with the reinforcements and boxing.
Just make sure you have access to the body bolts and mounts....also the brake and fuel lines. 🙂

It's hard to believe it's the same rusty frame.
