Planning the tube chassis

I put the car back in the garage and turned it up on it's side. I cut away the rust on the passenger side and have it ready to lay out the new frame. I used a section of fence post that is about 1.6"…

Completed stripping the car down

IMAGE010The wiring harness and the last of the accessories bolted to the shell were removed. I am leaving the steering, brakes, and suspension on the car for now. I am not sure if I will need them on the car right now but there is no point in removing them until I know for sure they need removed.

Engine and front end mostly stripped.

Well there were lots of rusty bolts on the front end. Some of them I managed to get out with some work. Some of them had to be cut out. Fenders, hood, engine, and trans are out of the car now.
