69 GTO Build

Hey Mike, yeah the extra gussets are probably overkill but I can blame them on my Dad and his military philosophy to plan for the worst then expect the best. SO I plan on hitting a typical New England pothole once in a while, you might not have them in California but around here they can do some real damage!
Frame was a full 12 hours to clean and get the primer on.





Now I need to hit all the suspension and rear end.

Looking good Eric. Bet you saved a ton doing the frame painting yourself. Looks like I'm gonna have to brush up on MY painting skills as well. I have a couple of basic Eastwood spray guns I bought a long time ago when I had illusions of grandeur thinking I could do ALL the paint and body work myself, like you and Mike, but since then reality has set in... but perhaps the guns I have will be adequate to apply primer to the frame. I'll bring them with me when I visit you for your input. Before turkey day, for sure.

Ya know, since I'm so close, ya gotta give me a ride when she's done! THAT will be a great day!!
