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

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!!

Just a couple more pics.....im geting something done.

The frame is back under the body....wow that was fun..lol
Now i have to sand and paint the core support to install it and the doors to get the
fenders lined up to patch em....talk about a hole in my bucket dear liza.
I still have some skim coat bodywork to do and need the car outside for that
so i guess im gona make it run again.

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.

Yea because I got one waiting to go in to.

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.
