Default Body off restoration update

So yesterday i completed the disassembly of everything connected to the frame and today I striped down the trailing arms and the A arms. Tomorrow the frame and all the little pieces I have ready are going to the place to be dipped and powder coated. Exciting seeing this thing all loaded up and ready to go. Who would have thought that it would fit in the bed of my truck. Nice no u haul trailor.

Looks like it's about time for some kick out trailing arms. Those look pretty rough.

So- minor detail here .. .just because you took title to the house and the car was there . . . do you actually legally own the car?

If ther prior owner died, it's not necessarily abandoned - it reverts to the owners estate for probate.

Just sayin . . . would hate to see you put enormous effort and bucks into the car and then have someone else come along to lay claim . .

(saw your reply on obtaining title- no offense intended, I just didn't see reference to that and wanted to inquire)

Default Widebody update

I do now have a title to the car. I went threw the legal process and got it before I started on this project.
