Finally got the frame painted, sorry about the crummy pictures but without a backdrop like a floor it's hard to take a good picture. I will take some better one's in a couple of weeks when I get the suspension on.

Just because I don't work at Ramz speed I catch all the shit, and Nick can't say nothing bad about my efforts at all.

Here's a little slide show on the frame Stan, sorry it's not in chronological order but >>what can I say. Donor front half was from a club coupe 442 drag car that was tubbed.

Looking good Jeff! Man with all those suspension upgrades and no disc brake upgrades, how come?

Looking good Jeff! Man with all those suspension upgrades and no disc brake upgrades, how come? It's all about where to spend the money, it's not like it's a rally car or road racer or something where I'm going to have huge amounts of brake fade so I stuck with the drums. I really don't see any issues. Probably didn't need the suspension upgrades either but it will make header clearance and all around drivability better.
