dropping down

See the picture posted ^^^ above?? Not happening in 45 min. That looks terrible, ball joints, steering, brakes, etc, etc,. You can fight torsion bars and brake lines alone for a time, then blead the brakes when done, etc, etc, but he didn't have to remove the air cleaner... LOL

The car was coming apart for a full restoration. Everything stays as one unit until you are ready to restore it. You don't have parts stored in 10 different places...everything stays together so things don't get lost. There is NO better way of doing it if you are tearing a car completely apart. If you are just doing engine work then you are correct, there is no point in disconnecting the suspension.
