Thanks for taking the time to check out the whole thread. I had to break it into Part 1 and Part 2 to have it make sense. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I know everyone wants to see the car with color on it but you can't rush expert workmanship. But the car is back on the rotisserie and that means it is now really close to seeing color.

Thats great news..

It will look great in your garage with your new wall art.

On another note kent several people have asked me about making your spare tire mount.. Rather then reinventing it would you be willing to share any sketches?

That is the kind of man Kent is. He is always looking out for us. Of course Ben is making parts we all love and need. I have had more compliments on my SS (Ben's) heat exchangers and muffler and it is not even in the car yet. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

A little more work being done now that the car is back on the rotisserie. Kent made a pull on the bottom of the long to straighten it out where it was apparently jacked up at one point, possibly decades ago. Also he bored a hole in the end of the long to stick a borescope in their to see if there was any lingering sand in there and then blew it clean and it is ready for frame coating to be sprayed in there to keep it all nice.

Then on the bottom he welded on one of two reinforcement straps.

I am not sure what kind of weld was on that bracket, or even why it was welded like that, but it looked funky and Kent corrected it.

My brother and I are planning to head down to see Kent, Jim and Andy at the end of the month. Can't wait to see my Six and just catch up with them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
