    Just depends on what your wanting to do with the car you looking to back half it?

      Oh you know, what everyone wants to do with a twin-turbo 455 Buick powered Sedanet... in short, it needs to go straight and stop.

        • Just picked up frame this evening pretty impressed for just a blasting and a good coat of epoxy!

                  • Well guys sorry ive been lagging in the posting dept.
                    But good news is ive been living in the garage basicly lol
                    About three weeks off and on of smoothing and sanding to get all the main welds and inperfections filled in and cleaned up.

                    With all the sanding i had to re expoxy the frame so this "IS NOT" the fina color of the frame just to seal metal, and from here i can really smooth it up and shoot it body color.

                    Heres a few shots of the smoothing and the new expoxy i shot today!
                    Really stoked about the intial smoothing and this is first cut frame should really have that plastic look to it when all finished!
                    Thanks for following

                            • My fear of airbags is probably unjustified, but I'm curious and have to ask. If they go flat, do you have enough bump stop for it to be able to move? Sounds like a dumb question I guess... I fear getting stranded. The LSC cat killer would lay the exhaust on the ground.
