Joe, I did a complete tear down of the frame. Every pop rivit was removed and replaced. The rails and cross members were sandblasted and cancer was repaired. Everything that needs to be primered is done with that "RUST BULLET". I am impressed with that stuff.

hello all, its been a while. As of today, THE FRAME HAS WHEELS, that can be moved around now. I am waiting for a bracket to come in the mail to convert the drum bracket to disc but other then that she has wheels. I plan to take frame to paint shop to be painted black.
I will be in the process of ripping out my motor and trans out of the van. I will post pics as soon as the frame comes back from paint shop.
