Thread: Busy Weekend

Tweet

Hey gang, remember last week I posted a few pics of my 55 and asked a few questions on how to get started. Well my son & I got wrenching and this is how it looks now. Removed front/rear bumbers, front fenders and fender wells, radiator + support, other sheetmetal in the front (forget what it's all called). Tossed some old dry rotted wiring and fuel lines, cut the brake line off master cylinder, disconnected sway bar, removed shocks and pulled the front springs (notice my 2X4 blocks) and disconnected the clutch. The front springs appear stock and did not have any spacers in them (there was a 1" rubber "bushing" that sat on top of the spring when installed, but I think this is factory).

Next is removed floor shifter, disconnect steering column then unbolt the body!! Would be nice if that all can happen before winter arrives...
