I'm using bone stock Google Chrome with no plug-ins and see them all in the build thread.

My signature..LOL It's all in good fun guys, I'm actually a big jokester, new on the board and own a 69 Chevelle SS 502 big block, 400 TH and a 4:11 12 bolt posi. However, I am trying to help a friend with his 65 Caliente that is truly a rust bucket from the backseat to the taillights, frame and all. I'll try to get a few pics this weekend. I'm trying to talk him out of piecing his frame together and replacing it with 2 x 3 tubing. He's concerned with the bends. I told him we just make cardboard templates and slice the tubing on 3 walls, bend and tack until we get it right and then a full weld. Just looking for help/recommendations.
So far so good. I will try Chrome and see, but I have the same issue on the Chevelle site. Got me.
Thanks

Sorry bout the pic situation but I think your on the right track with 2x3. Reads like you should back half the car.
Pick up the front rails and cruise on back to the rear bumper.
Put dome real rubber in the back and find a stout FE to lay a lickin on that 502 when done,, :mrgreen:
My kid brother has a 502 in a '70 Chevelle,,, theyre kinda like '90 silver Civics,,,,,,, there everywhere :lol: :lol:
Kiddin man. Show him some prostreet builds he'll get excited.
Can you see more pics by clicking on the car.

I just see the one photo. I love the rear wheels on yours. He had a Dana 60 he wants to put in the rear and a 351 up front so I think he needs a full frame. Feel free to email mail me any pics you think would be helpful

I just read your profile. I'm with the USPS, Maintenance Engineer and just over 40 yrs @ 66 with 38 in maintenance, both machine and building. Retiring as soon as I use up 7 months of sick leave.

Make sure your OS is updated, as well.
If that fails, text your ISP tech rep.
