Toby,
It looks like you need to add post/studs where you replaced the lower quarter skins. There is still one left on either side but there should be three, they hold you rubber bumper on. You may want to put those in before you get too much further. I found that out the hard way.

you are correct and I havent forgot about, just havent figured it out. What did you do? Drill a hole and weld a stud in?
I just drilled a whole and put used a stainless bolt. Everything was already painted and most of the way together, so I really didn't want it welded on.
I can't remember for sure-is the frame all ready to go? That was awhile ago. I'm assuming that you're using the stock type body mounts? Did you find NOS mounts, or are they available in reproduction now?

Yea...frame is ready powder coated and all brackets are clean ready to go. I have NOS body mounts I found tucked away at gbodyparts and it was the last set in existence I believe. The parts place makes aftermarket ones for rediculous prices so we will probably knock them off to provide everyone with a better option
Looking good toby! It will be nice to bring another g over to the shop for a bit. She can hang with a few older brothers while we make her like glass.

Great! THe 8.5 got a bath today and wire wheeled the sh*t out of it. It will go under primer and chassis saver tonight or tomorrow. Then I am truly ready to pull the frame down and start dressing it.
Iam2fast4u, we need to get my Monte in line, it's in desperate need of a fresh paint job!!
Toby, why don't you take your rear end to Tristate and have it powder coated?
