Help me while you guys are at it.

Those guys would just wreck it on him by pimping it out or dubbing it.   Cody's got his head on right, he just needs to move closer to civilization so we can help him.

It's too late for you man, you must be nearly done school aren't you?  We have to get Bronzy rolling so he can do a big burnout in his high school parking lot.

, its gravel...Id do some damage . Speaking of school, there were these 2 guys in a Honda with Lambo doors and they drove down the street with their crappy rap music cranked and the doors open. They were trying to act cool, I laughed soo hard .

Never too late! There's still the college parking lot!

Where was this love when I was in highschool?

Good luck young man.    One thing I like to do is if I can I put the screws, nuts & bolts back in the holes.  Then I know I can't loose them.  Try not to cut corners and just take your time and do lots of reading here.    You will be glad you did later.   LOOK'IN GOOD Cody      Chuck.............

Cody,

It's obviously being stressed already, but LABEL everything. A good idea is, when bagging nuts and bolts, to write what they are on a piece of paper and drop it in the bag with them instead of just writing it on the bag where it might get worn off. Also, don't make the same mistake I did on my '76 Cadillac. I understand you are stripping the car for bodywork and paint, but don't go too far! Maybe it's just me, but I took EVERYTHING off of my '76 at once. Engine and tranny, wiring, interior, windows, cut floors out, took A/C out, all suspension, blah blah blah. After 3 years, I'm nearing getting it back on the road, and that's with a lot of the stuff simply going back in because I just don't have the time/money to fool with it. The thing is, tackling everything and restoring a complete car (even if it's not some concourse restoration) takes a LOT of hours of work and time. Not saying you're slow or anything like that, but taking stuff apart is the easiest thing to do. Don't get in over your head. Good luck!

Much thanks Strat. I just went ahead and bought the hood hinges I needed but there's still a special place in my charger waiting for your back seat and perhaps a deck lid. You should e-mail me.

I would help but I don't think Canada likes me

  TO im busy with the motor home deal for the time being and i need to find a way to ship the rear seat and trunk to you, i know boxing that crap is gonna be a total biotch!  (i'm open to suggestions for any one who's had to ship those heavey bulky items).. 
Troy's stuff is gonna be pretty easy though, cause a mailing tube will do it... 
when i get the parking sit. figured/sorted I'll be able to unpack the garage again and go to it...

Retirement is Heck'a cool..

Don't know about the deck lid so much, but rear seat. . .fridge box with lots of tape and Greyhound? No real rush, just like to keep pickin' on you about it. 

[Charger_Fan]

Hey, once Brocksteroo buys the motorhome, he can just drive them to you!

[69bronzeT5]

Ok so I got pics!!! Lots of them but it will take a while to scan them. God I miss my digital camera . But I'll upload the pics as they get scanned on the computer.

[69bronzeT5]

Here you guys go! I said Id get pics, well heres pics!!!



Before I took it apart:

[69bronzeT5]

About 98% of the parts I took off of it are in the rec room...




I found some parts I didnt know I had. Such as another headlight support, rear top and bottom door panels. They were in the rafters above the garage and the car.

[69bronzeT5]
