: Frame Pictures---Before and after

I just finished painting my frame and moved it into my garage for assembly. My wife does not share the same excitement as I do when it comes to my Chevelle, so I thought I would post a few pictures here for the forum.

The frame was sitting in a South Dakota tree line for 8 years before I rescued it and brought it home.

The first picture is when I got the frame home, after sandblasting, in epoxy primer in my make-shift paint booth and finally painted with black Dupont paint in my garage.

My wife does not even ask where I go to pick up parts anymore, but she does occasionally come with if I tell her that there is an "antique store" along the way that we can stop at. The body for the 68 Chevelle is sitting to the left of the frame awaiting surgery to replace a few rusty panels.

Looks good. Is that a piece of pvc pipe it sets on in atop the cinder blocks the back of the pic?
