I finally took the 64 off the road to start doing what was going to be a front and rear suspension rebuild. After disassembling everything I could in the last 2 days, it became apparent that I need to do more. So far, I have removed the entire rear suspension and differential, and all of the front suspension.
After that was done, I started inspecting everything I could see. I need all new brake lines and fuel line (Bubba was here). Then I saw the "bad news". The left frame rail near the kickup is starting to rust through. So now the project is going to be a body-off so I can fix everything. looks like I won't be driving it in 2004.
Guess I have to start diving into the archives to see how to fix the frame most economically. This will not be an NCRS restoration, but i will get this car fixed, correctly, so it will last at least until I can't drive anymore.
I'll keep you all posted.
