Working on rolling restored frame out from under the car today .spring is finally here and I can continue on the monte .have 90 percent of the original metal blasted under the car that was still original . This has been a long journey for me thank you for checking out my rebuild .This year the body should be bolted back onto the frame .what a feeling that is! Still lots of work to do even at that point. Pics coming soon of the under side to see.

Good day fellow members .my body is back on the frame
Finally. Just aligning it as we speak.my question is how do you figure out where the body should sit front to rear. I know there is alignment holes but is there a way to measure it out without using the alignment holes as i dont have the right size rod to go in .my concern is the bumpers not fitting if its to far back or too far forwards.side to side its good at the moment .maybe someone could measure some points for me. Was thinking from the face where the bumper impact absorbers bolt on to a part of the body .any insight is appreciated. Really want to post more pics of where im at with the it not sure how to upload pics these days .
