[DML] More work done on frame

[njp548@xxxx]

Hey List,

I have been pretty busy lately and I wasn't able to send a post to the 
DML a few days ago with an update on the work that I have done on the frame. 
A few days ago I was able to install the front stabilizer bar and then 
install the vacuum lines that run the length of the frame. I had to repair 
one of the vacuum lines, after I saw that it had a rust hole all the way 
through it on a part of it. What I did was cut that section off with a hack 
saw, and I had some extra steel piping from another vacuum line from the car 
(I got a replacement from DMC Houston a while back) so I just matched up the 
cut off piece with a good section of the old vacuum line and cut it off, then 
I used some rubber hose and 2 clamps and put that new piece of steel line on 
the vacuum line. It came out really good. I got pictures to show everyone 
if the description I gave wasn't that good. I should also add that 
installing the stabilizer bar was a pain in the neck to install. It took me 
about 5 hours to do. For some reason the threads in the frame where the 
bolts to secure the stabilizer clamps weren't lining up right. I had to use 
a round file and make the holes for one of the strengthening plates bigger in 
order to get it to work. The next day I was able to mate up the engine and 
tranny, and now tomorrow I plan to install the engine and tranny into the 
frame and to finish up the frame. All that I have to do now is engine and 
tranny, run the heater feed and return lines, run the ss clutch line, and run 
the a/c lines. Next Sunday, I plan to lower the body onto the frame. If 
anyone in the long island area would like to stop by and help lower the body, 
feel free to e-mail me privately and I will give you the address, directions 
and the time we will be working on it. We will need a lot of help moving the 
body from inside my garage and onto the frame. Have a great week everyone!

Later,
Nick
