67/68/69 cuda dilemma
It warmed up to 65° today, and todays demolition started at 11AM. I figure since it's got subframe connectors I would cut out the main floor, start grinding the spot welds and peeling rest up. Car doesnt seem hurt by this at all. The doors open and close just fine with the floor hacked out Must be the subframe connectors helping it. My little buddy wanted a break today, and that's ok he has put in a lot of time for a 7 year old kid. Heres a bit so far today by 2:30PM. Will continue on for awhile longer then call it quits for the day.
I located the floor shift pieces I restored a few years back that I got off FABO onto the tunnel, and took pix and measurements in case anybody is looking to add a console. The shifter rod bracket stays centered in the hole that's in the floorpan. If I had to guess. Everything was located off that part since the dimensions seem pretty simple.
Once I get everything repaired and straightened, I will temp install the rear axle under it, and push it out into the yard to sandblast the inboard sides of the rockers, and sandblast the inside and outside of framerails, then coat them with 2K epoxy primer.
