Hey Everybody Here are some pics of us lifting the body and rolling out the frame on vin 774. Some of the shots are at night we finished rather late despite how early we started. Meghan and I did this by ourselves with a couple jacks and blocks. Ive supported all four corners of the car to prevent any sagging over time. You can see where the frame needs the most work. this car was home to a lot of critters the past ten years notice the nests near the fuel tank. Enjoy guys!:wrenchin 10276102671030110281102851030310272102971027810287 10294102931027410268102731029010270103001026910291 10295102991030210271102801030510288102751029210296 10284102791027710286102821029810304

That's very cool. You lucked out to find a lady that awesome.

I have one worry though, I don't see safety glasses while you're grinding or cutting that bolt out. I know it's hard to find ones that fit over glasses but I suggest trying. I had a piece of metal land on my eye after bouncing off glasses I thought would protect me. It stuck and rusted to my eye. It was a very uncomfortable removal process and the bandage I had to wear was almost as painful as the shard in my eye. I couldn't drive until the bandage came off.

Wow!

Massive job ahead but seems like you are dedicated and ready to do this head on!!

Are you going to repair the frame or source a new/old one?

and +1 on the Mrs :)
