69 GTO Build

Hi Gus,
Glad Tony has been helpful on helping you sort out the chassis.
That spray gun kit will be fine, its all in the preparation like everyone says.
Mini tubs on rotisserie with car upside down is what I did to prevent any sagging after cutting, but there might be good ways to brace everything on the cart if you went that way too.
PM when you want to stop by I will hopefully have things looking better by then, garage is a mess right now, haha.

Hey Eric
good advice on doing the mini tubs with the rotisserie. That makes a lot of sense. Doing the tubs on the cart would be very difficult I would imagine. I can't remember where but I swear someone recommended doing the tubs on a cart to maintain structural integrity but doing them inverted on the rotisserie removes the stress. I would guess doing one at the time would be prudent. ;-) I think bracing would be overkill since you did the job successfully with the body inverted. Thank you! You saved me a lot of hassle!



Will do on the PM. Thanks again for the open invite. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing your project real time when you have the chassis reassembled. You know, you got to promise to make a vid of the fire up the engine the first time. That would be way cool!

I hear you about messy garages! I finally have another free bay in my garage! All of the convertible parts have been moved to the basement awaiting advertising and sale. Will finish oil change on the Miata and put her back in the trailer. I will then have plenty of room to start on the firewall with the body on the cart in the comfort of the heated attached garage. If this cold weather is an indicator of what our winters gonna be like, then I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time there. My detached garage is not heated. Guess I could do some small part powder coating when it's this cold but not much more. Guess my blood hasn't thickened up yet!

Is your garage heated Eric? Hope so!
As always thank you for your input Eric much appreciated.
Gus
