I suppose every car has one horrible problem..this was mine:




the result of an exploded bsttery sitting in it for years

[SFRT]

so I ordered a new frame rail from Texas Acres, and it was real nice and complete (except  for the z bar bracket) and with the help of 3 friends, a few dozen clamps and jackstands, plus several hundred measurements, over and over,....

please forgive the welds, it was my attempt, and they ground out nicely.....




replacing the frame rail wasnt really 'hard' it just took 2 days, due to making sure the thing was fitted properly. The inner fender is from AMD.

  nice work   

[SFRT]

Thanks. This is my first 'resto/mod', and while it will never be a show car, I feel the work is coming out decent, and am really getting into doing as much of it myself as I can. You can do a lot with jackstands, spraycans and patience.

Type of brake kit did you go with?  LOOKS GREAT 

[SFRT]

SSBC full kit. the front where a breeze..the rears..total PITA. but they finally fit. I would NOT recommend getting the 11.25 rears...go with the smaller 10.5 ones. wish I had.

right now im waiting for the engine..the shop says FRIDAY.

Transmission is all rebuilt, many thanks to PASSON, great guy, the parts I got from hiom were excellent.

maybe, if all goes smooth my RT will be able to hangout with my buddies cars soon....

It really looks good! I have to agree. Thats the way my '70 is being done. While not exactly a resto, I am bringing what was a POS back to life and it will be oh SO much better than I when I started. Get it done ,drive it,and enjoy it!!

Looks great!
Any other pics of yer pal's orange '70?

[SFRT]

today was kinda a biggie...finished the brake lines, bled the brakes, feels good...then installed the steering column. Nice to have a rolling chassis again. Used a Camaro proportioning valve, self adjusting....sacrilege! ( I figured since the SSBC master cylinder is basically a GM Corvette type....)
