Frame looks really good.  I wonder where I left the rest of the car?!?

So ready to start reassembling - got 3 of 4 upper and lower A-arms disassembled.  I've sandblasted and painted the uppers.  Taking the lowers apart really sucks.  Just came in from the garage and I'm tired.  Trying to decide whether to start at the front or back first.  Think I'll start on the front just because I'm closer to having some parts ready - still have to purchase new springs for the big block, though.

A few blasted and painted parts.  About time to order the poly bushing set.

Been a while.  Thought I'd post a couple of new pics.

Been a while - been busy with 2nd daughter's wedding.  But I have had time to get a few small things accomplished.  Been working on the headlight assemblies - but I haven't downloaded any pics yet.  Here's a shot of engine compartment progress.  I have decided (with the help of family) that the new color will be corvette yellow.
