At the meet down at Padget's some asked about Jacob's car, well we spent friday night, most of Saturday, and all of Monday attacking the frame. Here are a few pictures of the progress.
The first picture is with engine number 3 or so in it. So kind of a before shot.
The second picture is part of the disassembly stage
The third picture is from Monday morning around 9am. finish spot rust removal, and prepping some surfaces.
The fourth picture is Jacob lieing down the self etch primer
The fifth picture is where we ended today, doing the entire inside of the car and engine bay.

Since Jacob hasn't chimed in yet, I'll explain some. Dark Half is correct, its going to be Electron Blue, the motor and trans are out of a 01 SS Camaro. He is going to use it as a street cruiser, but wants a competitive road race car. He is looking at CTS-V front brakes, C6 wheels, and a hodgepodge of suspension goodies including tubular k-member, tubular a-arms, springs, sway bars, and so on. It will be awesome when its done, but its got a way's to go. The goal is to have it a rolling chassis come late October.

10-4 that. After some fool in a Chevelle lost it a few years back, burnouts are a no, no. It just takes one to screw it up for everyone else.
