The New Project: Part Deux!

[olredalert]

----Steve,,,How many times did it occur to you to use an address in another state, get a title in another state and then transfer that to N.J. I had an easier time getting one of those Alabama titles for an old truck I had that I didnt have a title for at all. Perseverence triumphs. Good for you!!!!!!!.....Bill S

I was considering that as well but I realized that the NJ DMV would never have returned all of my original documents once they had their hands on them.

They probably would have required proof that the car was now on the other side of the Canadian border before they gave them back. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Here's some updated photos on the frame rail repair and trial fitting of the replacement outer section on the passenger front of the rear rail.

Steve, your recount of the entire car title fiasco is just incredible! What a relief this must be.

Frame progress.

Front replacement section held in place for trial fit prior to welding:



Sway bar hanger removed. Showing the burned through spots from unsuccessful attempts at stick welding the broken mounts back in the 1970s.

The bad section of rear rail getting trimmed for removal. The trunk floor was actually rather nice above the rail.







Inner brace being fitted in place:

Sort of. Now that I have the title and plates to drive it, it's sitting on jack stands getting the frame done. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

It's a conspiracy I tell ya!
