That was smooth, good job! What are you going to do to the frame powder coat or paint? After all the money and time spent on mine wire wheeling and painting I kind of wish I would have powder coated it. Oh well dohCheck out Paragon for parts they give you a ongoing 15% discount if your restoring and you can get a shipping discount by ordering online, pretty sweet deal.

hey jason,
i'm media blasting the frame and all the parts myself, i have a 10 ft x 16 ft booth set up in my garage.
my plan is to prime it with a metal etching bridge paint and paint it a gloss black.
thanks for the heads up about the discount !
good luck on your 79 !

thanks,
all the body mounts came off real easy for me EXCEPT, the 2 rear ones.
when i went to unbolt them from the underside, the top (inside) turned.
i got my son in law to try to get a set of vise grips on them, but to no luck.
i finally had to cut them off !
