Maybe start by calling a priest? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
- I second reading Jeff Hail's thread. In fact, read all of the builds in the builds and restoration forum. - Next, strip the car starting with getting that engine out of there. Take lots of pics as you disassemble and label them so you have good references when you reassemble later. Get plenty of zip lock backs and sharpies to bag and label parts as you take them off. - Get the tub level and secure. A Celette bench is the gold standard but lots of examples of DIY dollies and fixtures in the threads. - Print copies of these dimension specs and tape them to the car, whiteboard, or shop wall. Use them often. http://www.914world.com/specs/bodydims.php http://www.914world.com/specs/underdims.php Jeff Hail's thread also has useful dimensions. - Brace the door openings with adjustable braces. IMO, the best ones allow doors installed while braces are on. That let's you dial in dimensions and gaps very well while replacing structural members. - Start cutting and welding (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) |
