My 1969 1/2 440 ‘cuda
I know it is a lot of work, that is why this car is last one I am doing that I go completely through and restore. I do not have a rotisserie I made dolly wheels that are adjustable and strip everything by hand. not a very quick way of doing it. I also got a second car with the deal and I cut inner fenders out of it to fit in the holes from the headers. it takes a long time but getting them to fit in like a jigsaw puzzle makes easy to butt weld [ no overlap] everything and makes for better looking welds on bought sides and I kept most all of the factory spot welds that way. I was lucky because the car had no rust. I would love to have had a rotisserie but my garage is old school, I might print up a shirt that says ROTISSERIES ARE FOR SISSIES even though I would like to have had one !!
