Hi folks,
First off - let me just say I NEVER want to work under the dash again. Maybe when I get the body back I'll want to work under there again but we'll see
In any case, I made a lot of progress over the last week. Everything is out from under the dash. The wiring harnesses are all 3 out and stored, everything is out of the engine bay save the engine... All the chrome is off and ready to go to the shop for work. I FINALLY got the stuck gas cap off today. It's missing the little flip cover btw - thank GOODNESS that Dean is selling a refurb kit - that's awesome. I'm probably going to use
http://speedsportchrome.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for the chrome if their price is good.
Hmm...what else... I guess now the question is - what is a good way to rig the body for lifting? I have a BIG hoist, and a load leveler. I have read the various how-to's but none give details on C.G. and good lift points. Anyone have this info or a good "this is how I did it?"
Another interesting thing about my car is that it's original silver under the dash cap, but under the dash, it's the ochre red primer color. I thought Datsun painted the whole body????
Pix coming soon.
Cheers and thanks,
James
