    Bob - If your cousin Guido knows how to polish stainless send him over


    Well, one frame rail is ready for the polisher, one to go! That didn't take long at all
    I picked up my stainless axle yesterday, it looks like a '32 heavy axle, all I have to do is drill some holes in it.

    Cousin Guido don't polish stainless..............................but he does have experience with rub outs.....................................

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Ken doesn't have the car painted yet, so that won't help.

    Steve - It is really nice. An old retired machinist does all the machining on them. If you want to see anything, or a different view I will be happy to take a photo for you.


    I have a couple more days on the sanding on the other frame rail and I will be done for a while. I just wanted to do something else for a while so I started mocking things up to see if everything was in the proper place. Everything looks good so far. I picked up the spindles, steering arms, spring perches, spring, and shackles and tie rod and put it together.
    I bought a kit to put a C4 tranmission on a V8 60 block. I picked up a 1974 Maverick transmission from the local yard and disasembled it and cleaned it up a little so I can mock up the motor and tranny in the fixture. Slow but sure!!

    It's going to be a shame to put a body over such a beautiful chassis. Love the shape of the frame.
