That looks great! How come we haven’t seen more pics of this one?

Is that a disembodied Hurst door in the snow??

Good question. The frame that is in my car now is actually from a 1969 Dodge Polara. These are solid mount frames, no rubber isolators that are found on ‘70-‘73 hardtops. There is a great thread on here that dives into great detail about the differences between solid mount and torsion quiet...

Sure, it’s a work in progress. Here is the thread. I still have to update the rest of last year’s work. Resurrection of my 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible

Here is how I did mine. First, strip down the nose, fenders hood, rad support, etc. Then build a rolling support that will span the pinchwelds of the car. Next support the front with Jack stands at the pinchwelds, and also by the stub frame. Then remove the bolts supporting the stub...

Removing this to be useful might prove tricky. It is all welded together at the pinch welds and on the ends. You can't just cut through (like the pictured example) that would render it useless (as well as ruining many saw blades). It would have to be removed from each end at the factory seems...

Wow, this is a great thread, thanks For the detailed posts. Beautiful car @ayilar!

My top frame header is toast, but I have another frame on order. If you can separate the header and list it here someone may need it and it will be easier to ship.

Remove the dutch panel as one piece, inner, outer and drip rails, and as much or the associated quarter panels. Header is supposed to be adjustable, but most times rusted solid. Why do you want to save just the header?

Well, I guess this one is toast. Header is rotted pretty bad. It looks like it can be unbolted from the rest of the frame. Anyone have experience with fixing these? Before I waste time digging into it, do you think this is as simple as cutting out the bad and welding in fresh metal? TIA.

Hmmm, so it would cost $40k to re-patriot this one.

Awesome work! Who did the rechrome?

He forgot to add "easy restoration". :rolleyes:

Welcome, RWCearley

Mini starter? Might as well go crate Hemi and be done with it. :poke: :poke: :rofl: :rofl:

I didn’t know they did that level of judging on C bodies at Carlisle.

Well, at least the seats go with the Imperial manual, lol.

@david hill, did you get the elusive glove-box owners manual?

Wow, wow, wow! Incredible find and it looks like it is in spectacular condition, congratulations!

H5 is the code for AC that doesn’t work. :lol:
