Really impressed with your work. Enjoy the step by step information and the problems you had.  Finished my own rework of my 71 after nearly 10 years off and on.  And I didn't have a garage big enough to do the work so had to have much of it sent out.

Ben,
 
Guys like you are sometimes kinda intimidating to the rest of us slugs.
 
It's one thing to take on a frame-off project like you have, but then to take the time and effort required to document the process for the rest of us, is truly impressive.
 
Can't wait to see pictures of the finished product.
 
I'm starting to think a frame-off resto could be in next year's plans.
 
Thanks again.

Outstanding job of documentation and photos.  I think you are doing a great job of bringing your car into top notch condition.  Bravo Bravo.



Corvettes and women are the same...You want to make love to them but they keep breaking down.

I love it! It's always ten times bigger a project than you first anticipated isn't it? I'm moving with mine too, check my projects site. 1970lt1restoration.com
