. I took a day off only to find he tore into it when things got slow. I returned to find all the body to frame bolts cut, steering shaft unsuccessfully pulled from the box and other items cut in an attempt to free the tub from the frame.. I am going to have to watch him closely and slow him down. He has a beautiful restoration of a 72 Olds 442 to his credit, so I know what he is capable of helping me achieve, just a little worried by his methodology.Not quite a winter project........this may drag well into spring.
I am staying with the 12 volt conversion, and upgrading the master cylinder but otherwise want to return it pretty close to stock.
The tub is in pretty rough shape and I am on the fence as to replacing the tub. The dash, firewall and all metal forward looks good, but the rest is well beyond my skills.
She was running when I pulled her in, quite a bit of white smoke on start-up which clears when warm.
I power washed the frame tonight and it looked pretty good. 60 years of mud/crud splashing back at me.
