Here are some before and after shots of the frame.  Everyone that sees this frame has commented on how sturdy and solid it is built.  To start off on its restoration, I rented a high pressure steam cleaner and spent several hours getting it clean.  What a messy job that was and I recommend you don't do it in the front driveway like I did.  I then disassembled everything and took all of the pieces to a local shop that specialized in older Corvette restorations for blasting and paint.  I wanted to get it powdercoated but the owner convinced me to let him paint it with a PPG product called Pitguard.  He showed me some Corvette frames he had painted and it looked nice!  I then reassembled everything with all new hardware.  The frame sat out in the Arizona sun for several years after that.  The paint held up well but it did fade a bit.  Recently, I put a coat of chassis black laquer on it to get that new look back in it.  I still have to make new brake and fuel lines and finish up a few other things.  The following are a few shots of various parts.
