remember do not go faster than you can stop!
On the frame, I think to many was watching american hot rod and Blue Beard, Yes box your frame if you are planning on adding a new front clip and a Mega Motor to prevent frame twisting but if you are planning on keeping the 6-cyl do not waste your time, also unless you are a real good welder and understand heat and how to keep your steal from drawing you can screw up your drive real quick, now for the frame part, I am in the process of doing another fram up restoration and the first I did all the frame sanding and blasting my-self and it was the hardest chore for the whole project. This one I found a guy hear in fort worth that sandblasted my frame and all the parts underneath and powder coated it for $400.00 would I do it again? in a second. You can also get any color under the sun.
