Well I'm done for a few days. Docs for a vitamin treatment tomorrow 
That usually knocks me down for 3 or 4 da
Anyway some progress today
I have the bolt at the base of the steering column soaking in P B blaster
Nut and bolt turn.
It's a bastard spot to get to. Really need two people. Between that and the three bolts supporting the steering column at the firewall.
being paintedover isn't helping.
I did manage to get the dash unbolted and everything disconnected except the ignition and heater cables.
My nephew said leave the garage key and go to the docs tomorrow ill take care of it. After he yelled at me for not calling.good kid.

Well, he found a trashed shell. Wanted the cheapest way to just a race chassis together. Still ford powered, but cheap stock car parts and full rolling chassis, brakes, rear end, extra control arms etc $800OMG!!! Eric that's like stuffing a LS in a 70 Cuda.

Too many parts to go through....................
Will do. I think I was back and forth under the car trying to get that bolt loose about a dozen times.
Would do the same thing and seeing something different is a plus.
I bet Scott.
Yep, I understand. Last time I pulled my tranny out of my Scamp I finally figured out how to do it with just me and no tranny lift.
Have a friend that has 2 hemi cars thinking he will be with us at MITP and real good at lots of parts figuring out. I'm hopping he can help you some.
Slow and easy there Ripsnort!Well I'm done for a few days. Docs for a vitamin treatment tomorrow

I have a picture somewhere of that coupler bolt after I got it apart. It was no fun. Hopefully PB Blaster fur the win.
Tested fit my 'new' (to me) starter. All good. And adapting wires shouldn't be a problem. I'll just put them on the wire stretcher. LOL Actually a slight reroute and it makes it. Ran cables from a battery to it out of car.. Runs great. -and SO quiet! Will be interesting to hear the difference if/when it starts the car.
After that I played in the dirt a bit. Started flower bed cleanup. Mostly in front of the porch.

Must have been a light tranny if you didn't need a lift. So did they get out of the scamp on their own or did you open the door.
just messing with ya Fred
Hard place to use any heat.

LMAO.
I had the 727 out of the Demon 2 times in a week, while in a sling from shoulder surgery. Learn to work the floor jack handle with your feet, while using 1 arm, while hoping is stays balanced on the floor jack, slide off said jack onto floor as it is too tall. Then reverse. Getting it back onto the jack while under the car is the trick.
Those trannies go in the trunk with the hookers, sillyMust have been a light tranny if you didn't need a lift. So did they get out of the scamp on their own or did you open the door.
Yep pretty crusty. I have a new steering box going in also. Courtesy of Mopar Tim.
This thread has the best folks.
OH ****! Never tried that. I put 2 rachet straps in the holes in the frame and let it down on a creeper. My feet can't turn a jack handle.
Sometimes hard to keep up you all are the best.
Thanks, Fred, we will see what's left to sell......................... Spring Carlisle is April 17th.
Think you will sell a lot at Carlisle. Hope you make some good money Scott.
That does not look like an easy one, nice multi-tool engineering tho, hope you get it soon!Well I'm done for a few days. Docs for a vitamin treatment tomorrow
