Just a quick picture progression of my frame off restoration. Completed in 6 months. Basically it was a body donor swap that I took the donor car down to frame and then swapped over a running drive train from my old rusty car.
Bare frame was boxed in under the doors, reinforced with a shock tower and rear bumper cross brace. Then powder coated.
All suspension pieces were power coated. I later swapped the upper front control arms for speedway arms.
Rear end drum brakes were rebuilt, S10 cylinders and 2 long shoes. Rear TA cover added. Everything POR15'd. All new brake lines from master cylinder to all 4 corners used. All new emergency brake lines too.
Front suspension installed on car. Body still in the air. New tires and aftermarket aluminum GN rims.
Rear end installed under the car. Drag bags to limit travel, HR Sway bar, 1" drop springs and 10" wide aftermarket aluminum rims used.
