Howdy all;
About to start a restoration, hoping to do a rolling resto. After looking over some of the threads on prep for repairing longs, I see two things everyone advises: 1) brace the doors 2) get the car off the wheels, i.e. jackstands under the donuts It looks like the engine is nearly always pulled... Is this a must, or can the longs be repaired with the engine in? If so, is additional support under the engine/trans needed? Thanks for the input, M. |
