There is nothing out there like AMD for C bodies. Pick up a cheap bead roller from Harbor Freight and and some flat sheet steel and do them yourself. I picked up a decent '73 parts car and cut to size there was little difference from the '69 - '73 C bodies, but I don't know about formals like...

Looks great Ben, keep up the good work!

Looks exactly the way it should be. Here is a pic of mine.

I’m confused. Where is there wood in the seats? All mine are steel frames.

Please let me know when you are over your convertible!

Impressive, basically creating a hybrid full frame/unibody. That is an option to saving a car without the time and involvement of cutting out the old and replacing with donor rails, which is what I originally thought @amazinblue82 was looking to do. That 300 must be solid as a rock going over...

Nice job! Not for the faint of heart. So you fabricated the rails?

Same on fuselage cars, but they still twist and flex regardless.

Parts car. The rear frame rails on a convertible are extremely involved. You will need to fabricate a steel mount to hold the body by the pinch welds and weld braces between doors and cowl to keep from flexing. Use the parts to save others.

Removing only one weld and then using one bolt, brilliant. Great job here!

Thanks, that’s really helpful!

Excellent work and write-up Ben! After 10 years of doing mine the cheap-o rubber boots I installed on the upper ball joints have completely disintegrated and I have to pull it all apart once again, and that’s just from sitting. Yours looks like it will last a lifetime.

Sorry, April 1 is April Fools Day in the states, not sure how it translates to Canada. Red Kote is known to fail, as documented here on the site, and trash your lines, filters and possibly carb. What year, make and model car do you have? Van’s sells new tanks for under $400, and I think...

A drain hole in the gas tank? I had to take a look at the calendar to make sure it wasn’t April 1.

Look up SEM soap. I used it on my dash with great results, but it takes several applications.

Nice job!

After all the work to remove and then paint, that $250 nos might not seem too bad.

You don’t need fancy tools to do most metal work on these cars. I own a porta-power, but I also use a 3 foot pipe wrench, claw hammer and one of my favorites, a spud wrench.

Why do you want to break the welds on this? It is probably easier to bend this back into shape in place. Any simple scissor jack and some heat from a map gas torch should walk this out completely.

Haha, no problem take all the pics you want, that’s why I post them. Yeah, spelling is not my thing, whatever you want to call it as long as it fits and does what it’s supposed to do, lol.
