Frame OFF!!!

So after 8 hours of working on jacking up each corner 3 inches at a time to clear 3 feet, I finally got the frame out. Getting ready to blast the frame now. Here's the pics, let me know if you see anything else that needs to be taken off (I've already removed the power steering pump and rear bumper)

Good luck. I will be waiting to see the finished product. Yeh, its a lot of work. JB

Are you going to break it down more and take off A arms, control arms, sway bar etc? Replace bushings? Just wondering cause if you have it that far apart you might want to do that.

Where can I find the replacement bushings for the body support? Also, is anyone else's exhaust look like this? Never noticed it til now.

I used 72 chevelle mounts on mine with no problem.

My old 74 had tailpipes that were bent similarly to that. They were bent by the installer.

my tails are more closer to the springs,than the pumkin.

Which bushing set did you get and where from? I looked on Summit and there's about 10 to choose from.

68-72 convertable bushings they have the extra 2 that we need for our cars. You can get from OPGI. Eklers has the radiator support mounts also. Hope this helps

I found a set of 73-77 on OPGI, but they're $300. I also found the convertible set, but it looks like they don't have the bottom rubber that the original has. Here's the link I found: http://www.opgi.com/p/suspension/10767/28/SB517K.html
Let me know if this is the right set.

I also found these as well. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.m748&item=170420775343&viewitem=&_trkparms=clkid%3D465533422549376060#ht_2355wt_941

Body mount bushings for my '75 Elco came from The Parts Place. A bit less money that OPGI.
You are in for some work with that project. Just did it all on my Elco. Great to know that when you are finished it will be in great shape.

Here's my album with pics that may help.

I am going to have to replace my body mounts as well they have crumpled. Should of probly got a different car but it has gotten me into a chevelle.

I will double check but I know this will work. My car is almost done and soon I will be posting pics of the frame off build. I will get back to this I promise.

I see you have a cozy coup.. Please make sure the little ones dont try to play around the cool car in the air....Just Sayin!!!
