Kev's 1979 Monte Carlo (frame off project)
#41
thx guys!
so yesterday I scraped off the rest of the undercoating stuff and found some ugly stuff:
One of the pre owners did some "repairs" and covered with bondo and undercoating. well I think I have to replace that section.
Already found a good site for replacements:

Fortunately the rest of the frame is good and only needs to be boxed and some rewelding of the factory welds.
Anyways I'll sandblast the frame this week, finally! Next weekend I'll test fit my rear wheels (18x9.5 with 295/35) and will see how much work need to do on notching rear frame section.

just received this pic from my buddy last night
he said already reweld almost all factory weld on underside of frame, welded control arm brackets in and boxed the sides
man he's fast - I just wanted to be there when he starts because I need to learn how to weld
