ok next I started to pull it apart for a frame off build. The body mount bracket was competently rusted away behind the passengers seat and most of the others had to be cut out, boy was that fun :vomitbuddy: I am used to using a BFH or a cutting torch doing that little cutoff wheel really tried the one nerve I have left.
By this time I had bought a Haynes manual , it really wasn't any help at all to me .
Ok everything is cut loose , have you ever noticed when other people need help they say just call when you need something but then can't be found :wtf: so being my normal self always in a rush I wasn't going to wait I'll do it my self!
I moved the engine hoist as close to center as I could and used some ratchet straps since the passenger side rear door are was soft I hooked the rear fender wheel (wrong thing you'll see) well all is good for the first inch or so then it stops, I checked all the bolts nothing is hang so I tried jacking it up more and lifted the whole frame with it then POP remember the hook on the rear fender wheel yeps that was it:doh: apparently I forgot to undue the parking brake cable and this picture show what happened
here some more pictures, you can see the body hanging and that broken fender wheel is just barely noticeable ...hahaha
other side car body hanging
front hanging body
ok the tires only hold air for about 15 minutes so we need to roll the chassis out form underneath there into the driveway for now
ok lets show a few more pictures around the frame kind for a before type picture thing.
Notice the body bolt wouldn't come out and had to be cut off at the head
rear end
actual taking pictures of all the old frame has been helpful for reference when I am trying to remember where everything goes ...lol
Next, the front impact bumper support bar looks like it had hit a speed bump or something it was torn and bent in ......Final something I can use my Torch and BFH on :rofl: I heated red hot and adjusted its attitude with the BFH then welded it back up . it will not win and shows but should work for a daily driver car
