Frame & undercarriage advise!
Oh MAN!!! That is bad ass! I had to do a double take, lol, saw the 340 pie tin, but then couldn't reconcile the single valve cover and exhaust headers, then realized it's a leaning tower of power! The tried and true one and only Slant 6! I love it! She's a beauty! That must be a rare combo...- Fode140

Good evening all, back again with more questions as I knew I would be! The boys and I were out again this weekend working on getting the undercarriage stripped off all of the running boards, lines and bracketry, etc., and next the tank will come down. I did go and get a cheap harbor freight...- Fode140

That is crazy, so glad to be able to meet so many great and helpful people and some from so close to home! I've also spent a lot of time in McHenry and Island Lake, both great areas, I at least pass through them frequently.- Fode140

Frame & undercarriage advise!
It is indeed a small world, that's great! I know Grayslake well, spent and still spend a lot of time either there or passing through. I think I will break down and buy a sprayer.

I actually really lucked out. Went and talked to the police and they said as long as you get it out of there by the end of the weekend (last weekend) we’ll drop all of the fines and promise not to tow it. We just want it taken care of. So it really worked out!- Fode140

Hello all! Just lucked onto a great project, a 91 last year suburban! It doesn’t run, but is very solid and all there! I plan on working on it with my 2 sons ( my oldest is 14) and making it their first car! I’ve always wanted a square body and now we have one! I’ve been a mechanic in my younger...- Fode140
