Watch it.....remember the whole KYDTR he's not whipped thing!!! We may have to stir the pot a little about this whip crackin" BTW, you got any pics of this?

[VuNiT3]

LOL! I wasn't saying he's whipped, simply I help control the ADD...at least a little bit.

Im starting to get frustrated.


seems like Im not getting anything done. I have been busting my ass on it everyday, and Schaber has been right there with me. Its like theres not enough hours in the day. We started sand blasting the rust out of the inside of the driverside fraim rail and I got some "Chassis Saver" stuff from the paint store. Its suposed to be the same as the POR 15 stuff.
Now I find myself needing steel and I dont know where to go. I need some 1/2" inside diameter metal tubing for the K member bolts to run through on the inside of the fraim rail. I need some 4" wide 1/8" thick or so plate to cover the gaping hole I made in the side of my frame rail, and I need a big sheet of thin steel to make my panels to cover the giant holes I made in the inner fender in front of the strut towers.

where can I find some scrap steel or new stuff to buy?

I also need to go get my Argon tank filled tomorrow. damn.

this damn thing is starting to nickle and dime me to death. It seems like Im spending more time running around getting parts and supplies than working on the car. This bites. Im starting to doubt myself here. Im about ready to walk away from it for a while.

Sounds like this post is turning into a rant... lol. I know what you mean, but it will come together. Rob had to cut out and replace his whole frame rail. You could give him a call and see if he had anything left. Good luck, it will be worth it.

[mustangboy]

Hey Matt my brother was able to get you some body filler. I don't know if you already had some but now you have more if you want it. I did not even look to see what kind it was but it was a gallon jug and he said it was their best stuff. BTW he works at Evercoat so it is good stuff. Only kicker is the whole label is in spanish. BTW if you find a place for scrap steel let me know. I could use an approx 4ft by 4ft piece to do my trunk, approx 16gauge should do the trick. Just let me know if you still need the filler.

There is a yard that takes scrap and sells steel up in lockland not to far from cincy speed. I don't remember the name, but they have all kinds of stuff. You could always ask the guys that did your cage/chassis work to sell you a few scraps.

[Rob]

Hey Matt, I have some steel for you, give me a list of all that you need.

If Rob or anyone else can't get it for you, give Kevin Doe a pm on here. I think his dad works at a steel place and can get it.

Sick color!

[92coupe]

Ypo Goober i have all kinds of steel too, But you have to pick it up.

[Tuner6560]

Tig needed for frame rail?

[Maximus]

Jen got that sanding done yet??

[PonymanfiveO]

waiting on metal stock. I gotta finish the framerails and firewall before I can squirt some paint.

[VuNiT3]

No, sanding isn't done yet. We need to get crackin on that beast. Since its getting warm out, it won't be as miserable sitting in the garage all friggin night.
