Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Well, finally time for an update. It's been over 2 months, and I have little to show for it.

However, the subframe connectors are in, just have to finish welding them, and the trailing arms are about ready to go in as a unit as soon as I pick up some bolts and U-bolts.

I also made a venture to Iowa, where I picked up a complete front clip subframe. New brake shoes, lines, wheel cylinders..all painted..no rust...gorgeous. The guy, Bob Morgan, gave it to me. He's a stand up guy with a bad ass 66 SS. I'll be sure to post pics of the front clip and his car - it blew my mind.

So, now the real work begins. Taking all of these pieces, putting them together, and hoping everything is square and turns out right.

I'll be sure to update more - with summer over, school starting, I'll have more time. Sounds counter productive, but farming is slowing, so, more free time for me. haha.

Until next time..

-Sam.
