I picked this up back in the end of July. Wasnt sure what my direction would be, so I put it in the storage shed until October. During those 8 or so weeks I decided to do a rebuild with some extra features. I brought the car home from the shed in late October and have been working a few hours on it since then. I pulled the engine and sold it and the trans as a package. Removed the 7 1/4 rear and gutted the interior. I was lucky to run into an old friend that had just finished using his rotisserie and he offered it to me to for my build. So at that point the car went on the rotisserie where it hangs today. Here are some pics of work to this point.

As you can see the cars on the rotisserie and I have scraped undercoating and installed frame connectors and have cut in the boxes to move the springs in so I can do a mini tub.

So far I have removed 26 Lbs of undercoating. I would guess since I have the front fenders to do yet I would hit the 30 lb total. You can see the how I cut the boxes in. Im sure theres a better way. I cant take any credit for the welding as I have a friend that welds for a living so I am taking advantage of his skills. He has covered some ugly work already as the frame connectors had some very large gaps that needed to be filled. I just tack things into place and give him a call! I'll try to update this as I move forward.
