Bare Frame

The work has begun on the frame. I have removed the body bushings (small rubber disks cushioning the body and reducing the squeeking. Most are hard as a rock from years of weather and climate so those will definitely have to be replaced.

As well I have started to clean the frame and assess areas that need to be strengthened. I should be able to make quite an impact by welding some well placed braces and connection pieces.

Starting with this frame certainly makes me appreciate new metal as most of the frame has pitting.

I haven’t made a decision just yet regarding the rear kick up area of the frame and when I do I will post on my progress.

I have picked up driveshaft but haven’t had time to get it cut down quite yet.
