February 2001. Here are some pictures of the frame just as it was coming out from underneath the car.
These pictures are of the frame before I removed anything. This set of pictures, plus a lot more were taken as reference for reassembly. In the 5th picture you can see the 455 that grenaded on me and started this project. Rod failure, but what a ride! Check out http://home.swbell.net/shang442 for some pictures of the motor.
A couple of shots of the bare frame on the trailer, ready to be sandblasted.
May 2001. Here is the frame fresh back from sandblasting. Remember, clean = new. The frame had to make 2 trips to the sandblasting shop, one in March and another in May. Long story.
July 2001. Here are pictures of the completed frame. Ready to go back under the car. The front brakes are a factory setup, the rears are a bolt on kit from Stainless Steel Brake Corp. http://www.ssbrakes.com
The frame complete with wheels, fuel & brake lines. Under the car, before the body is set back in place.
July 15, 2001. Here is Stage 1 completed. The body is firmly bolted to the frame. On to the bodyshop!!
