What condemned his frame?

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

What condemned his frame?

Cost of repair over cost of a clean non corroded/ rusty frame. Majority of the rear is thin and by the time I grind that crap down to get to good base its unsafe to weld conversion parts to.

Since we are doing a frame off build no sense in using a subpar frame to start.

Pulled the body and pulled everything on the firewall. Now to clean the underbelly and Lizard Skin it.

Strip the engine bay and paint it.

There's a ton of work still to do before this is finished and the insulator and new clips are waiting in the stockroom.
