I'm thinking you're going to need to cut the gusset off of the frame rails that the rubber bumper on the factory lower control arms bumped into. It will be in the way of your new coilovers.

That is the exact thing I used on the fender for my 65 Barracuda. It took all of 10 minutes to get the outside of it stripped from 3 paint jobs down to bare metal. You need a good sealing dust mask, cause it flat throws it off!

Merry Christmas, Chris! Bella sez Merry Christmas to your puppy dog too! :thumbsup:

Merry Christmas from North Carolina, USA! :thumbsup:

I'm 68 and it's always been 3 on the tree. On another note, we always called pushbutton Torqueflite's.....Typeflite's or Typewriter transmissions.

If nobody throws an Eddy Performer at you within your time frame, I've got an Edelbrock DP4B holdin up some dust. I'll trade it to ya for that LD340TA (W2) intake you got out in the shed! :rofl:

Wow....what a difference! It cleaned up nicely. Does the AC keep up with cooling the whole thing, or will you have to make a partition of some sort? I'd like to find a 5.2 or 5.9 Maxi van of the same-ish vintage, but people want stupid money for them around here. :realcrazy:

I think @partsmonsta used to do trim repair, but not sure if he still does.

I've stripped 4 cars to bare metal, so here's how I go about it. I have learned on each one and gotten better at it every time. Never, EVER media blast outer body panels....NEVER. It will warp the crap out of them. The last one I did was a 71 Challenger. I bought some disc's similar to the one...

:rofl:

Dang....with that mattress back there, it could have possibly been a rolling sound stage for those Bang Bus movies! :poke: :p

LOL....I knew you did. I was just messin with y'all. :poke: :rofl:

I was 20 years old in 1978, when I went to work for Carolina Power & Light. I had to wait 6 months to participate in the 401K. When it came time for my first raise at 6 months, my boss brought me in for the sit down. He told me the most important thing I need to do for 65 year old me, 45 years...

At least y'all can afford seat belts to use. Many times, I've used what is referred to in the Lineman world as a Collar Rope. simply a half inch rope about 10' long with the ends taped up. Go under the exhaust manifolds on each side and tie a square knot right above the intake. Then tie a figure...

I've read about that before. :thumbsup:
