Little more work. All the parts arrived from ord except the rear shocks (they were stolen) and still waiting on the custom leafs..

Got the rear frame sections straightened back up. Everything is now off the frame. It will be going to the powdercoater here soon. This is what it looked like after getting the welded hitch off.

Now.

I wanted to use their new crossmember on my frame. Some custom work needs to be done but its pretty simple. Just need to shorten the 74-87 engine towers and then drill a few holes. Thats about it. This is one side done.

I really want to fill a few of the holes in the frame. I know i could just weld them up but they are a bit bit. Any recommendations on what to put in the holes? Little metal slugs of some kind?
