Trooper you go at it harder to make things happen.Will be glad when I get to pulling wrench’s into my 69.Love seeing your can do attitude.

@@Brianshrader6357 hey if you're going to do something may as well so it right. Or at least try your best to even if you can't. Awesome about your 69 welcome to the party pal! Let me know how your resto goes cheers 😎 thanks for the kind words

[@firelord71]

Great job in getting the rear end out now that you got that out of the way you gave yourself a world of possibilities. Can't wait to see which direction you take it

[@SubdivisionAuto]

Oh yes and it has changed (the plan) dramatically since we removed this. Going to be something pretty cool. Got the perfect setup going in the back to make it run like a new car.

[@firelord71]

Then I can't truly wait to see it I'm waiting for you to have your next installment

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@firelord71 awesome! I don't think you'll be disappointed it's something new on the market but makes perfect sense for this project. not going to have to worry about blowing up the rear end if we happen to put too much power on now. Also what we have in mind just makes sense from an installation sense. Should be able to do some wicked test videos down the line and how far we can push the car 😎

[@firelord71]

@SubdivisionAuto I'll be waiting and you and the family enjoy your new years

[@chuckirwin7334]

I remember that just about all of my front bolts spun but two I had to cut open also but part of the process keep up the good work.

[@scario64]

Great job...I remember fondly doing the rear end in the Nova...Was undoing the rear bolts, was pulling really hard and Henry says "don`t do that you`ll hurt yourself" I didn`t listen to him and ended up breaking my nose....lol

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@scario64 haha that's hilarious! Hey look how many years you've got out of that restoration was well worth it

[@scario64]

@@SubdivisionAuto Yes Sir...100 Percent

[@kevinvansandt9117]

Thanks for sharing this is very helpful

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@kevinvansandt9117 my pleasure glad to hear it's of help

[@57BAwagon]

If you decide to put a posi and or gear in it I have the tools and teach you setting all up. We mostly use 373's.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@57BAwagon perfect that sounds great I will take you up on your offer. Although the plan has changed and I got a new Ford 9" to drop in but the housing is empty. That said I have no idea about any of that stuff so will get your help to put a posi and new gear in for sure. Thanks for the help Henry and merry Christmas !

[@chuckirwin7334]

My next car I will remove the whole floor in one shot think that would be faster and take less time, live and learn.

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@chuckirwin7334 oh man 100% chuck I learned this the hard way too as you know. It's just not worth saving the floors. Especially since you can treat the frame rails and seat anchors from above when you cut the old one out. It would basically be a new car and no need for expensive frame coating. I've spent about $500 on frame coating alone... That's the cost of a new floor

[@chuckirwin7334]

I found a n original 68 as Chevelle in bad shape but salvageable Iam thinking about a full body panel replacement we'll see how that goes

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@chuckirwin7334 nice man hey at least the frames come off those cars which makes It much easier. I think that sounds like a good plan for ya. We actually found a 67 gto 5 mins from my house same deal as your Chevelle but it's complete. Needs every piece of metal but the frame looks good. Don't need a frame jig for such a project. Shares the same frame as a 67 Chevelle

[@Eldude350]

So, are you " loving it?"

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@Eldude350 the car? Yes. The restoration? Also yes

[@benspiteri3807]

Max get your self a set of brake line tools come in a set of three and you won’t strip the brake fitting

[@SubdivisionAuto]

@@benspiteri3807 good to know thanks Ben you've had some good tips over the years. Thanks will do.
