Frame, part three

 

Well, here we are, a rolling chassis. I am just stoked !

 

I had to bring it out in natural light to see it all. The Hurst shifter will be replaced with a old-timey swan thing, although the muscle car guy in me is voting for the short throw stick !

 

It is starting to look cool with some shiny stuff. I will add some more chrome nut covers as well.

 

I painted the lower part of the frame black, so it will not be so visible from the rear.

 

I painted my "stealth" dump tubes black as well, so they would not show too much. The continuing pipes are also coated with ceramic coating to keep the inside of the car as cool as possible.

 

On the front shock mounts, I used grade 8 bolts for strength, but then I covered
 them with chrome caps.

 

On the front brakes, I used stainless bolts. I filed the text off the top,
 and polished  them to chrome finish. Look ma...no rust !"
