I've concluded that I need to replace significant portions of the lower wheelhouse, inner long, and the suspension console. I've spent the day researching and reading the classic threads and like many of the rack-like assemblies my predecessors have built. Let's hear some easy but still effective ways to get this thing off the ground and straight enough for structural repairs.
I really like the one for "Bringing out your Dead" but can't quite figure out the points it's mounted. After bracing the doors, can I use the front jack points, a long support along the floors, the outer suspension console, and the trans mount area? I ready for some ideas. I'm trying to develop as many COAs (Courses of Action) as possible. Thanks. |

So the rotisserie is a GO, but it has brought up the next question: Bracing.
How much? I will definitely be bracing the doors, but is one per door enough? The longs under the doors are surprisingly good so will not be removed. Only passenger side needs cut and the predominance of the cutting is in the wheel house and engine compartment long. From the jack point to almost the outer suspension console is getting cut out; and on the inside, the inner long from bottom until the inner suspension console (including the console and long under it) is getting cut out. So what kind of bracing do I need to think of? After reading Carey's thread, I'm sure I need a jig for the suspension console's fitment, so should I use the same jig to hold the rear in place or will just the door bracing be sufficient? |
