Finally Reached A Milestone

Appreciate all the comments. Feels good to be at this point. Could not have done it w/o tips I receivedfrom this site. Especially on the jig and welding tips. Few more pics of before and a picture of what I'm stiving toward - a sapphire blue 66 gt.

Time to turn it over to painter for fit and finish. Just shot everything with SPI black epoxy. Underside and engine I will leave as is. SPI producst seem really good. Not all that experienced in painting but seemed to flow on nice. I like it a lot better in the engine bay than what I used on my last project. Great thing about SPI is quick shipping and knowledgeable sales group that does not mind answering dumb questions. A lot of us are dyi-ers and don't have a lot of experience in all the areas. The companies with good customer service like SPI that will work with the newb are the ones that will get my business.

I got it close before I welded up everything but turning this over to the professionals to fit and paint. I work on it pretty religously during the winter months. But when weather gets better I move on to driving my 70 Sportsroof and the Harley.
I got a couple shops I'm talking to now to take over and get it back to me in the fall. Then I will take it from there and do the rest. This winters goal is suspension, electrical, and interior.

Looks like you cut out a section of the passenger side front frame rail,..why and what did you use to get such a clean cut out?
I'm asking because my passenger side frame rail had the two interior, welded-on support nuts break off when I was removing them, now I want to cut out a section of the rail and look inside at the rust or whatever made these pieces break off
