I can see the up grade on the spring holders. Mine did not have the nuts only a hole. I did not thing of welding nuts like you did . I used a long bolt and lock washer and nut.

El Campo · 11-23-2012, 09:48 PM

Loving what you did on the rearend. Looks great. Also good idea on the spring holders.

**oldman3** · 11-23-2012, 09:59 PM

Nice job...Jim

Portmod7 · 12-14-2012, 06:39 PM

Lots of hard work on this one, great job so far!

suspect · 12-14-2012, 10:31 PM

I wish I was as meticulous as you are with your build. I get to impatient.
I'm going to assemble my engine Christmas weekend, I'll swing by sometime within the week to borrow those tools.

Ok Dan, what's the secret to posting a pic with the iPhone?

Thanks, I wonder why they had them welded on one end and not the other. After fighting getting them off I though this would be a good idea.

Thanks, I love the fancy welding job you did on your axle tubes, now that was slick.

Thanks, I love your project. All the fancy race car parts and the 4ott setup still blows my mind. You definitely think outside the mail order catalog.

Cool brother, I think lack of money breeds patience and meticulousness

I try to do the best I can with what I have. Good thing I have you so I can recycle your old stock parts

Not sure, I just did as I do from my macbook. submit reply>manage attachments> my photo album opened up and I selected the photo and it worked. maybe dumb luck. Kind of a pain to navigate on that tiny little screen. Another thing I have the Iphone4 (because i'm cheap and it was free) its camera is a 5 megapixel while the Iphone5 has an 8 megapixel camera so the file size may have something to do with it. I love your new project!!

Update with pics coming right up!

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:37 PM

Okay I re-re-did my patch job welding on the frame and cut some box plates with our plasma at work, welded them in.

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:39 PM

Frame boxing and smoothed, primer...

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:42 PM

I painted all the overlapping surfaces with flat black and torqued the front suspension crossmember and trans crossmember to the frame. I used the assembly manual and it says 55-75 lbs ft so Itorqued them to 70 lb ft. I could not find anything for the trans crossmember and the bolts included by GMC Pauls are grade 5 so I left them at 40 lb ft untill I find some other specs.

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:45 PM

First coat of paint. I am going to repaint the front crossmember gloss like the rest but I did not paint in front of it or the rear past the shock crossmember because I have more welding to do....

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:48 PM

Second coat. This is Tractor Supply farm and implement paint, alkyd enamel. Thick, hard, and shiny! Had my frame been in better shape and if I had fixed all the little problems before I would have much rather had it powdercoated, live and learn. It was getting dark so the pics are pretty poor as far as the lighting goes.

67c10rustbuket · 12-22-2012, 10:53 PM

I also cut the rivets for the pan hard (or track bar, what ever you want to call it), the shock mounts, and the front cross member so I can mount my sway bar brackets and I managed to fubar that job so the crossmember will be coming out so I can remove whats left of the rivets. I will be opening boxes of NEW parts very soon and ordering some more, next order will be a tracking bar from Porterbuilt

es67chevy · 12-22-2012, 10:57 PM

Glad to see it moving forward. Looks like some fine work there!

Thanks Eric, slowly but surely!

Mmmmm Both, Originally I started with rolling and brushing with matte black then decided I liked the gloss better. I was going to use my spray gun but researched the paints msds and could not find any chemical difference in spray can vs quarts so I did the gloss in spray cans (convenience issue

). The front suspension crossmember is 100% brush/roller. it does level out well, not quite as good as POR15 but it does level and takes quite a while to dry. You can tell it is different when the gloss dries it looks and feels like POR, you can tell how thick and hard it is not at all like regular rattle can paint. I can get a pic of the part I rolled tomorrow in the sun if you like.

Yep, many colors, OE tractor colors. Ford/ new holland blue, Caterpillar yellow, Red, green, silver, etc. pretty stinky stuff

bjcaldwe · 12-23-2012, 12:30 AM

I worked on mine a little today. Maybe soon I can get a few parts on the frame to the paint stage.

**oldman3** · 12-23-2012, 12:41 AM

Frame is looking great, nice job...Jim

I was thinking John Deere green would clash with the blue exterior paint

Maybe Caterpillar yellow like our fork lift at work would match, better consult the wife. My daughter thinks I should paint it purple (yuck) I guess I am a pretty safe boring honkey so a black frame it is. I want to paint the trailing arms, control arms, pan hard, and sway bar a silver or charcoal grey. I will call you next week about that seat... Can I have your biscayne now that you are done with it ?

mcbassin · 12-23-2012, 09:53 AM

Looking good Dan! Keep the pics coming
