Preparing chassis for front suspension kit installation.

With the frame back from sandblast I ordered the front end suspension kit from Street Rod Engineering.

While frame was out for sandblast I cleaned all of the old undercoat from the body

 I used this Roto-Strip tool on my drill to remove the old undercoat, it worked excellent and made short work of the job.

 I applied a coat of Por-15 for a hard glassy smooth protective base coat.

 The entire bottom of the body was rust free...Nice!

Removed the body from the chassis. Removed the front and rear axle and then drilled all of the factory cold rivets from the suspension mounting points.

Removed the engine and transmission and donated to local high school. Front axle sold for $50.00 and other items went on ebay.

Removed floorboard, toe board, made a scribe line on the frame to notate where the front axle was located then removed the trunk lid and rear fenders.

The next step was to disassemble the car down to the bare frame.

 With help from my Daughter we removed the front end body parts.

Removing the anti-roll bar assembly to accommodate engine/transmission removal.
