My wife gave me a '76 Town and Country for Christmas a year ago. I started a to do list and quickly realized that I was under water with all the other projects I had and I was going to have to finish one of them before I started something else. I also decided that my space would just not allow me the room I needed with the current inventory. So after finishing up a project my son and I had been working on for 3+ years and moving to a larger space I am finally ready to get started.
I purchased a stub frame and had it sand blasted, epoxy primed and painted with an epoxy in black. I plan on building the suspension, brakes, engine and transmission on this frame and then doing a complete swap with everything already in place. I have done this in lots of K frame cars and it works really well.
I plan on new torsion bars, sway bar and steering box from Firmfeel. I plan on using the 11.75 rotors for now but with 4 piston calipers.
In the mean time I have the fuel tank out and am cleaning it up. It had about 1/2" of undercoat and asphalt on it. Looks like it was driven down a freshly paved road once up on a time.
Rear springs are tired and I will look for a new set.
Looking for a C body 8 3/4" rather than the 9 1/4"
Got some rust in the rockers but everything else looks good.
