Thanks Nick!
Happy New Year!
So nice to have the hoist to get the frame on the rotisserie.
Sanded entire frame again with 320, I'm getting good at this.
Used more slow reducer with the SEM Rust Shield, helped it lay out smoother this time.
Suspension all ready to go, all the bare aluminum and gold zinc bolts polished up and protected with Shark Hyde. Everything had started to corrode from the ride on the flatbed last winter, the salt spray on the highway must have got on everything.
All the aluminum and hardware on the rear end looks great, I treated it with the Shark Hyde last year before it went out to the frame shop and its holding up nice.

Eric,
Awesome progress! For your supply line question... have you thought about 1/2" aluminum tubing? As compared to stainless steel, it's super bendable. I have 3/8" stainless, and it was a pain in the ass to bend and especially flaring the ends. Of course, after I was done, a new GTO friend of mine showed me what he did... 1/2" aluminum is going on the next car.
Keep it up!
Mike
