Re: I got "FED UP" so went and bought a 67'

Update time! But nothing super exciting unfortunately. Got the motor out of the frame with help by my buddy. Being on a dirt floor however made the job twice as difficult as it is. Basically just lifted the motor out and rolled the chassi back and set the motor on the ground. I then got the front cradle undone. But have run into a snag that I need to brain storm. With the engine on the ground it leaves me no room to actually pull out the cradle.







You ever have those moments that you do something and then realize DOH!! didnt have to do that. I had one of those moments although its not a real biggy. While I was removing all the points of frame contact to pull the cradle, I absently mindly just cut the riveted sway bar bracket. Only to realize after the fact why didnt I just undo the saddle bolts! Needless to say I had some choice words for myself lol.
