Frame Off Restoration

[rarperformance]

Here are some pics of a restoration we are doing on my 87' GN t top body that a guy used as a parts car. He was going to scrap the body. So he gave me the car for free. This is the stuff I love to do. Make someones junk into a show stopper.

Body stripped down and frame pulled. As you will see, it will need alot of work.

Had to do something different. The body needs a lot more work so we decided to use one of my other bodies that was good but had a bad frame. We're still planning on restoring that body, but plans for that will be very time consuming cause we're plan on doing a lot of custom work on it.

Amazing work on the car, and the SS is beautiful!

I have a question about your frame. When you cleaned it up, did you dip the frame, sandblast it, or just wire wheel and compressed air??
