Finishing the Frame and New Suspension Parts

The next set of pictures is the restoration company prepping the frame and finishing it. They sandblasted it to remove any surface rust and then primered it.

The next few pictures are of the suspension components that I chose to put on the car.

After that are some pictures of the sad condition of the fuel lines and sending unit. I purchased a brand new fuel tank, sending units, gas lines, etc. A new high-performance Walbro pump will be used with a Caspar's Electronics "Hot-wire" kit that bumps the fuel pump wiring to a much higher gauge.

The next pictures are why we decided to replace the frame. You can see it has some serious problems in it and in a restoration of this quality there's no way they wanted to use it.

There are a few pictures of the rear end and then the frame being painted. The last pictures are the frames, new and old, next to each other for transplant.
