Whoever did body work decided to WELD ON the driver side fender. So that added an hour to pulling the fender, but finally got off and stored. - Notice there is no gap between bottom of fender and cab. They even tack welded the fender to cab along the vertical plane! https://photos.app.goo.gl/MP1gjVRWYfd9gUiD9Engine/trans removed, and scheduled for pickup this weekend along with the suspension, driveshaft and old wheels. Next step is finish rebuilding the C4 suspension (new bushings, ball joints, clean/polish up aluminum), then I'll remove the cab and start in on the frame. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Rbc6vKhUKo5PpEtcA | | | | | Joined: Aug 2022 Posts: 8 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2022 Posts: 8 | I had a pretty productive weekend: I finally got the rear drivers side spring removed, which I had to drill/air hammer out the rivets of the mounting bracket. Jerry (a.k.a. Hot Rod Lincoln) and his grandson picked up all the stock components I wasn't going to use. The original engine/trans/rad/suspension/brakes/wheels/tires/steering will all find good homes in his future projects. I started on the front upper/lower control arms of my C4 suspension. I removed the old ball joints and bushings, cleaned the control arms, and started to drill out the upper control arms. Hope to have these control arms done by Friday and then I'll dig into the rear suspension.
