I'm just about ready to paint the front frame rails and firewall on Monday and Tuesday. I've got a couple more things to do to get ready. Have to hit the whole thing again with 180 grit, and wax/grease remover everything. Should come out pretty nice.

The engine shop called and the motor will be ready next week, too, but I won't be putting that in until the end of the year. It's a bicth to push a car around with a BBC in it. :D

Wow Sean, I see a lot of elbow grease was used there!
Did you know Iceman sells a blank off plate to cover the heater box hole? I haven't used it but I did buy a T-400 cross member. Not yet installed but but it's a big brute and looks well made.
Good Luck, Gary

Thanks, guys. Lot's of elbow grease and more to come.

Gary, I bought an a/c block-off plate from someone, but I can't remember who now. I have one of Iceman's custom crossmembers for a TH400. That thing is frickin stout! I just wish it were made of chromoly, because it weighs a ton.
