Re: Late 60's Vintage Modified Race Car

So quite a bit of progress in the past couple days.... Got all 4 brake drums turned down and painted, got a set of axles for the rearend, might have tracked down a transmission.... Oh and I got the frame back!




Kind of looks dumb like this, but it's the best way to weld on the frame rails and such..















Some of the damage....































Started welding some patches...



























(Welds look kind of crappy but it was hard not to burn through everywhere, no matter the heat)















I know the patches (and some of the welds) aren't the greatest, but I haven't had much practice lately... And it is after all an almost 80 year old frame, turned into a race car close to 50 years ago, and has been sitting out in the woods for at least the past 30 or so years, so I'm not too worried about having a show car quality frame!



Thanks for lookin!
