I started the tear down on my 70 Charger.
I’m getting her ready for sandblasting.
I started by removing the front bumper and grill assembly. The fenders were easy. The doors were next, followed by the windshield and dashboard. The steering column and steering box were kind of time consuming because of a stubborn pin. Finally all the components on the firewall, engine side and interior.
The car had no interior when I got it.
Today I’m going to remove the rear bumper, taillight assembly/ wiring , door glass, and the seat belts.
A shop vac is a good thing to keep on standby. Lots of dirt, rust, and mystery stuff to vac up. I used ziplock bags to keep and label my hardware as I removed them.
After the tear down is complete I will need to start cutting my floor panels or as well as the trunk. I have to replace the passenger rear frame rail. Not sure if I should do that first or wait until after sandblasting. I’m leaving her as a roller for transport but will need to tear her suspension and underbody down even more once on site at the blaster.
I have my frame rails, trunk pan, trunk extensions from AMD. It’s a good start. I’m enjoying what I’ve started so far. Any advice on cutting the floor pans and trunk out? How about temporary supports? Thanks guys!
