For those of you following along (none), I reached a new milestone today with my 36. Today, we finally separated the frame from the front and rear undercarriage and we have a naked frame.

While I know that I'm just starting down this restoration path, I feel like I've crested a hill and am looking down the road ahead. Time to stop taking things apart and start cleaning up,fixing, painting and putting things together. YEA!!

Just wanted to share with my online neighbors.

Pictures tomorrow in the daylight.

If you have just lifted the body of the frame (chassis) for cleaning and painting you still have a lot of pulling apart to do. With the body out of the way all chassis parts are much more accessible to repair.

Way to go Ron. Remember it is a hobby. You have the chance to go at your own pace. To get it "just right". I find if I do not "rush it, like a job does to people sometime" it becomes such a joy. I wish you good luck on your quest to complete you '36 project.
