Re: Project '64 Cheapskate
Got some things done on the old beater this weekend. I pulled the original 4-speed trans and crossmember out in anticipation of the upcoming suspension swap. I knew those things were heavy, but holey smokes that trans was a greasy, heavy beast! I wound up firing up the torch and cutting the transmission crossmember and lowering it out with the floorjack. I removed the remaining sections of the crossmember and the attaching rivets as well.
I also installed the automatic steering column, replaced the door handles, cut out the old exhaust, and installed the rear view mirror. I'm getting real close to doing the suspension swap, but I'm going to need to steam clean the chassis first. It's a greasy mess, and that job is not going to be very pleasant.
