I was going to check and make sure you got them. I hope they will work for you, let me know if you need any dimensions for mounting them.

Thanks Charles! My frame still has the remnants of the old parts so I should be good.

This is like watching an episode of "Overhauling" with Chip Foose. Except Wheee makes it look easier!

Its so educational to point & click through a restoration to see how fast & easy things get done. Its as though I am my wife and seeing things through her eyes!

Followed by a loooong cleanup of the shop. I think I am actually finished the media blasting! At least the big stuff!

How about it Mark, do you think you can work Courtney Hansen into some of your photos?

In other news, the Zedd Findings frame rails showed up today!! They look superb as expected and have extremely good quality welds and finishes to them. Looking forward to getting these installed. I picked up a set of telescopic supports to hold the chassis while i separate the old rails off and install the new ones. I don't want there to be any load on the frames as I replace it.

Pics to come.
