Re: 49' Patina bagged in PA

6-27 Got a couple hours in today. Cut 4 boxing plates out with a grinder. think I went through 4 discs doing so. got two welded in, got two more to put in the back. Figure the extra security back there will be nice. I'm also going to plate the stock leaf pearches where my link bars go in. I feel like you can box the frame all you want, but that area there is a weak spot in my opinion. I coated the inside of frame and boxing plate bf I welded these in.

brought my engine up, I gotta put the heads on this weekend. I forgot my lifters so I'll put intake on next weekend, I'll try and get it on the start stand this weekend and start plumbing it up so I can get it fired up. Got a nice polished WP off ebay and it was all messed up via shipping, so hopefully I get that new one soon. Still have a few more things to order up, just a couple odds and ends like dipstick, waterneck etc.

Frame will have 1 full coat of chassis saver by the end of this weekend. Still have the bottom to sand down and coat. Then I'll put final coat on next weekend and then I can set the engine in the frame and work on my suspension stuff as I go. All new poly bushing throughout, shock mounts, still have to order up some slotted rotors and some good calipers, etc.
