Some more dissassembly today..... I got all the nose sheetmetal off so I could check all the front end structure over for any potential problems..... Looks pretty good, just a couple small rust spots(nothing bad)..... Also found all the factory seam sealer is turning to dust..... The the inner cowl does look like it's in pretty good shape from what I can see.....


I said to myself I wasn't going to tear this car all apart, but it just doesn't seem to be working out that way.....

Not everyday you come across one thats not rotted in the cowl area..Are you disassembling it to get it painted?

I was taking the nose off just to clean up and paint the front section and replace the front suspension..... Now I see more things that need to be taken care of so I don't really know what I want to do right now.....

How is the steering box and linkage? Sometimes those old Ford suspension are ugly.

It is all surprisingly pretty good, needs an idler arm and bushing..... I think the box could stand to be tightened up a little, but not too bad.....

ahhhh, just convert it to rack-n-pinion while your there

The more days I have it the less parts are on it, needless to say I took more stuff off today..... The front is getting pretty bare now, I also removed the gas tank and all the fuel/brake lines going to the rear..... I looks like the rust is pretty well contained to the rear floors for the most part, underneith the car anyways.....

As always some progress pic's.....
