Got a bit more done this weekend. Took off all the suspension pieces. For some reason the top bolt (non-steering-arm bolt) for the drum brake backing plates SUCKED to get out. Penetrating lube and a 36" breaker bar still took 10min for each one to undo.. arg.

Got subframe off...


Guess it's a good thing I removed the subframe, and have solid body mounts!


Nooooo... well I guess it's good that only one mount went to **** over 37 years. One more thing on the subframe to fix/weld up...


Before shot... bare drum spindles, took so long to remove everything off them!

After shot (they be purdy!)...





Needed longer studs...
