Thread: Bringing my old friend back to life.

I want to make the Garlits get together, but I gotta find a project to build first right?? Gotta show up with something other than my 98 Chebby truck!!!

The PINK T resurected! It's funny the frame does look purple Don, but the old pictures of it look pink. I love some of the gun metal greys that a few guys are using on line right now. Joegib just posted this one which is a beautiful grey color,

I'm sure what ever you choose will look great! It will be fun to see this project evolve. One nice thing is you've already done it once, which takes a lot of the initial stuff out of it, and you already know how it rides, so you know what to expect in the end. Plus you have two other rods to steal parts from! I meant Dan and Don Jr's.

Oh, I already have my eye on some goodies they have laying around. That is a nice gray on that car.

I got more of the frame stripped down tonight. Only thing left is the rear end and rear spring. Frame still looks solid, no evidence of any cracking or anything. I do realize that my workmanship has improved over the past 20 years.....I look at some of the stuff I did and wouldn't do it the same way today. But, it worked, and I had limited tools and equipment back then, so I guess I did the best I could at the time. The structural stuff is ok, just the neatness of running brake lines and stuff like that will be much better this time around.

I should be ready to have the frame sandblasted in another week or so, then I can get some primer on it and start concentrating on the suspension.

Nothing to take pictures of tonight, maybe tomorrow when I get more of it disassembled.
