Rocky Start Resto..

Last night, stripped the interior and took the rad and other bits off.

Today, took the rear end, springs, gas tank, prop shaft, some exhaust and part of the shocks.

Found there was a bit of bodywork on it but absolutely gobsmacked on the condition of this car..the gas tank looks new..relining it anyway.

Learned that it is better to not work in the dark under the car and look at all the nuts before you start pulling off bits.

The C-clamps on the axel were truly weird...bolts came off in different directions ??..and after playing for 20 minutes or so, cut them off.

Question about the rear shocks - the bolts holding them seem really thin..don't want to strip..anyone have this problem ?

We are pondering pulling the trans tomorrow..not with the engine.....are we nutz ?

Will post pics tomorrow.
