70 turquoise Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Always was the plan. Life. And other cars got in the way. Crazy what you find in the glove box and in the car after all the years. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It is looking great. How did you damage the undercarriage without totaling the body. Glad you are working toward bringing her back to road worthy. Where did you keep the car all of these years while it was waiting to come back to life. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for the pictures. Nice collection of other cars- and trucks also. It’s pretty well noted that most of the group are car(truck) people. We enjoy them all. I normally don’t speak for others but in this case I think it’s ok. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the right front A-frame hanger was ripped out also the foot box and that frame area where the double body bolts are was crushed. So had to replace the frame.

420ponies Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 My '72 had the same damage. I think they put a big block chassis under it. A pillar, B pillar damage as well. It's got the 3/8" fuel line. Nice looking'71 you got there. I also have a'65 Chevelle that's waiting for me to restore. Had it since '85. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High school wrecks and 19 years of owning towing and recovery business, dad managed a dealership that didn’t want muscle on their used car lot so I got first shot at them.
