Body Off!

Yesterday was a great day! I finally got to remove the body from the floorpan! I managed to remove the body and completely strip the floorpan down in time to get everything back in the garage to stay dry. As we don't have a double garage I wanted it to be done in a day so nothing is left outside in the wet! Pictures below!

Waiting for my Father in Law to arrive to help me lift the body off!

The body safely in the garage in the dry!

For the first time in 50 years the body was separated from the floorpan. A great moment!

Front end off and all the parts stacked up!

I couldn't undo the rear castle nuts on the rear drums so I removed the complete gearbox and axles etc as one! It was pretty heavy so I used the box to 'rest' it on!

Completely stripped! The pan is now being sent off to Wayne Allman's 'Intergalatic Custom Shop' for new pan halves, dual alloy 3/8" fuel line ran in through the tunnel and AN fittings Tig'd onto the ends and 'pan and also the IRS conversion.
