Rocky Start Resto..

It has been an interesting week...I have had to travel a bit, my computer went south for a bit and my daughter had her wisdom teeth out...have to go back into today..problems..

Well, the last place we were was baffled by the steering couplier. With lots of help from FABO and some guts on my part to use a hammer with gusto..that darn pin did pop out.

So off to the races again.

A member suggested using a tire on a dolly so off to Princess auto and they had 300 pound rated wheels on sale..a good omen..borrowed a tire and placed under car and dropped it down.



My son taking the k-frame bolts off..



Everything came off as it should..no strain on the bolts however, with a floor jack, we could not get the car high enough to pull the k-frame out so we had to take it off the dolly and pull it out manually but here is the car sans engine.



Then I installed the wooden frame on the bumber mounts.



Front gear back on dolly..btw, the base of the dolly is cherry...ya use what ya got :)



Lastly, I am surprised how heavy the shell of the car is...more later..
