Re: '67 Chevy II Build - Betty.

Got a little bit more done today, but the batteries are dead in the camera. So, alas. No pics.

However, did some more welding on the subframe connectors, which have now become my frame rails for the crossmember. And since the arc welder's cables reach to the car in the garage, I out some more bead on it just to try and make it a bit stronger.

I also set it down on jack stands all the way around, and after some finagling, it sits pretty level at all four corners. You have no idea how excited I was when that happened, haha. Unless my measurements were off, it means my subframe connectors went in straight, and the car should be fairly straight and not cockeyed.

I'm hoping atleast.

And thats about it. Gonna try to get some more done this weekend, but I make no promises.

Until then...

-Sam.
