Pictures, Planning, More Pictures, More Planning....


I am nowhere near a professional but I am in the same boat as you it seems. Though my car had already been disassembled and the previous person didnt do a really good job.....

Like stated before pictures are an excellent idea. If you can take all the sheet metal off as one piece that will help you keep it all together. Ziplock bags labeled with what the fasteners go to will help also.

The plan I have for my car is to replace the floors and rockers. Once that is done I will remove the body from the frame and start on the suspension/frame work.

I would determine what you want to use equipment wise and get it. My car uses a torque tube but I am going to convert to an open driveline so the stock rear comes out. The new rear needs to have brackets etc... welded to the frame to get everything set up. I am also going to do a frame stub in the front. Once I get all the welding that will be done to the frame done I will send it in to be blasted and powder coated. Then I can slowly start putting things like the cab back on.
