ok,
some time ago, i started a post about restoring my gt6 frame and the trials and tribulations involved. the major problem i encountered was when i decided to use a different frame due to some damage on the old, and hadn't taken measurements of the old before i tore off the brackets i needed for the new frame.
well, the factory manual (or any other written material) didn't have measurements or correct ones, so i called out to the community. everyone came to my aid and i welded them on and got the frame ready for painting. i finally dropped the body back on with the bonnet and everything lines up great. pics of the body on are numbers 70-79 on my website below, pics 74 and 75 being the best of my little gem.
acid treatment and por-15 paint to go on as soon as i have a sunny day. por-15 chassis black paint to go on as soon after.
pics of the sandblasted frame will be up on the site soon, and hopefully painted pics soon after.
Thanks again to the community for all the help and knowledge. i'll be back soon for more (knowledge\help\opinions) when i hit my next roadblock.
oh, and this is the old post:
