I like the bedliner idea. And it is looking good coming right along.

Default got the frame done

Frame came back from sand blasters.
Gave it several coats of epoxy prime then boxed it with pre primed steel.
Then 3 cans of eastwood internal frame coat.
Then a few coats of eastwood 2k satin frame paint.
I modified the crossmember to work with the boxed frame.

That thing has come a long way since the last time I saw it! You're doing an awesome job! I actually wish I would have boxed my frame in before I had it blasted. Keep up the good work!!

Default New gas tank and bling

Decided to go with a stainless gas tank.
I took a little work to make it fit...it was an inch to wide.
A little tap on the edges with a small sledge hammer got it done.
Also a little bling to the motor with a billet serpentine kit.
Im still working on the wireing and fuel lines.

Where did you get the tank from? I bought a stainless steel tank for my 69' Malibu from ground up. I am a long way away from installing it. Really hope that I do not run into similar issues.

Mine was from ground up.
But was an easy fix...the outer edges were not rolled up enough
so a little tap along the edge was all it needed..didnt hurt the tank.

Wow. I have been failing to keep up with this post, Very nice. I do have to ask, did you paint the bolts holding your power steering unit to the frame? Lol. So much detail on everything else, they just stood out in the photo. Very nice job, you should be proud of your work.
