First American car, Olds cutlass, it was cheap. Had Mopars ever since then.

I started off with Fords, I thought it was the best I could do until I got something American which was what I really wanted.

I’ve just ordered a large box of holes….

Removed a bit of dead weight…

Damage chopped out, bashed straight and welded back in. One Torque box made, just needs final trimming before welding in.

Chassis ties in, spring mount damage to fix next.

Passenger side spring mount has also taken a hit so that will be attended to in due course.

Floor pan and handbrake cable mount both split..

It’s a nice rust free car but it has been in the wars as it turns out. Rear drivers chassis rail had taken a hit and was properly mangled. Section cut out reworked and welded back in, still looks a bit Frankenstein until I properly finish it.

Prop loop made and fitted, bolts are tacked in from the top for easy removal. I consider this an essential if you are going down the track, certainly saved some damage when my yoke let go.

First job as usual is interior and heater out, hopefully that’s as much stripping down as is needed.

Funny you should say that….

I’ve never had any luck with poly strut rod bushes fitting properly so I use rubber.

It’s usually just a 2 piece bush with no spacer. No lock nut either.

Yikes!
