Thanks for the interest! Unfortunetly, Its still in the same state as my last work post. Life has really pushed her to the far corner of my garage. I've said it before but hope to have the time to work on it again in the fall. By the time im ready I'll need to re-paint my chassis.

what I thought to be a simple pan replacement is turning into a can-of-worms for me at home. but reading/learning from this thread gives me the encouragement to go forward with a frame head restoration/replacement. thank you!

Gary89er, welcome! and thanks for your interest in my thread!! If you have the time, start up a build thread and post some pictures. I’d be happy provide any information I can. I’m starting the job of replacing the heater channels lately and experiencing the fun of aftermarket parts. Good luck!

Hi @T8kitease (Matt),
I’m currently working through a 67 build and I am still in the early stages of the chassis repairs.
Any chance you could DM your plans for the front chassis jig that you made up, I’ll have to make that up myself as I will be cutting mine off too.
Cheers
Aydan |

Hey, don't feel bad about losing momentum on your project. I have had mine for 11 years now and am really just now getting started on the serious repair work on the chassis. Time flies and it seems like every time you get started again, life steps in and sends you on a different course. So far, your work has been impressive and I hope you get to start back up on it soon. |
