Thank you. I cant wait to get the frame done either. What I primed last night I am very pleased with. I should be able to get the two rails together tonight.

Im still waiting for the motor, rims, and tires though. I really need that motor soon. The progress on the frame will stop after recieving the motor to build, and fabricate the tranny so I have clearences and final cross-members put in the correct place.

Keep the comments a'comin'!

UPDATES:

Heres a quick update while I am waiting for putty and epoxy to dry.

Heres the primered right rail, still found a couple spots that need touch up, but it looks pretty good. Im quite pleased.





Heres the other rail, left side. Ready to put the tubes in for the cross members and then Bondo it up.





Please comment. Hopefully I can get a couple cross members put together by the end of the day.

Thanks for the comment. This thing is a beast. Is spans a good 3/4 of my airbrush paint booth. It only ways about 8ounces though. If I were using 4130 Steel it would be a lot heavier.

Thanks for the support. If you want to be even more supportive bump my thread when it nears the bottom. But just dont get it locked or I'll be pissed.

The new sig, yea. I think its much better than my last. The old one I just wipped together in 5 minutes in Photoshop. The new one is animated. I figured with it being animated, and "trippy" it might lure people in. I hope it works because I need all the support I can get.

[Howielong]

Im always around for support. Even with the ladys. (hint hint) no not really. Sure anytime mike any time.

I'm not responding to your thread until you get rid of the sig that makes it impossible to scroll through the thread.

Take that.

Sorry about that, I never paid attention the file size. Its gone now, is that better?

[willimo]

Hooray! Pics are ok, but when they go animated (like Nismo400R's) they slow me up considerably. Perhaps it's just my 5 year old computer... Thanks GTMike...!

Looks great with a capital... great. Impressive, mike... since when are you a moderator?

Sorry about that, my computer is fast so I dont really pay much attention to file sizes or anything. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks Colin...I got a lot done this weekend, maybe its because I had nothing to do.

I have been a moderator since my desire to take over AF became strong enough . Im a mod in the die-cast forum since Saturday mornin'.

More pictures later today!
