A tram gauge would have certainly been more effective. Before marrying the two pieces, the donor clip was just measured square. Then before anything was cut on the car/ braces welded, it was leveled and measured with plumb bobs along the rockers across the length of the car as well as measuring...

back from an extended vacation. The front clip is semi mocked up but I'm running into a few small issues. I took a video and uploaded it to youtube. Ill attach the link below. let me know if its not working for you to add onto the video.. passenger side has a gap from the front rail to the...

It all makes sense now. Now I'm debating leaving spot welds on the frame rail and PS floor unwelded and patching the floor after everything else is connected and in place

Alright, good deal. sheet metal screws are acquired and rosette weld skills are moderate. I should be good to go. My door hinges are shot, so after those arrive I'll start cutting and prepare to mockup

The donor is back and cut to match. any concern or advice?

Another question I have is if there is a better way for having the car jacked up than I do now. Currently the car is jacked up and shimmed level on 4 points with a jack taking the weight off the rear end. 2 Jacks on the rear frame just past the rear and and 2 more on the torsion bar cross...

Alright alright alright. Things are happening. The donor has been un air-conditionined and is at the blaster to get prepped and I'll throw some epoxy primer on it before I install. I'd really appreciate anything that i'm missing or alternatives in my plan. Only thing I cant show are the sleeves...

Blank stares of doom at my donor have passed, and it now seems doable. I have started spotweld cutting the donor on the firewall and the bottom of the frame rails, but it's still intact, so I can just weld the ones on the firewall back up. If I understand, the idea would be to use the front of...

Wrong side, but this is the picture I have on hand. Something like this? Cutting out the spot welds at the floor and cowl seams and taking out a section of sheet metal on either side of the old welds that has been warped?

And it has begun... Unfortunately, the level of butchery is fairly extensive. Looking for advice on how to proceed. Below is the transplant. A 68 Coronet wagon Here is where things get interesting. Sometime in the 90s, someone thought it smart to stick-weld the supports to the firewall, which...

You might just be my white knight. I’ll look into getting it back hauled on a 18wheeler

Hope he grabs some stuff off that thing before it makes its way to Valhalla. good looking parts car

This would be perfect, it looks straight too. I found a few local to me at salvage yards but they want a kidneys worth for them. I'm going to see if there's a way I can get that shipped to AZ that would make it worth the hassle. Thanks for the lead!!

Looking to see if anyone has a 66-70 front stub (clip) in good shape, on or off the car. I'm out of the Phoenix area, but I can make a trip Please 'read' the rules for posting ads instead of ignoring them...thanks

Hahahaha, well I'm 24 with the cover of a barn.. so I suppose there's no reason I shouldn't
