Happy New Year one and all.
Time for a New Year update, I put the few days off to good use.
Finally got my k-frame dolly welded up and done, and as the pictures show it works like a dream.
I tried not to over engineer the thing, but did make the rear support movable front to year to give me some options.
So I get everything that was left disconnected, pulled the top control arms loose, dropped it down on the dolly, 8 bolts later and I picked that sucker right up and off the assembly. Of course I did forget that with no motor,tranny and front suspension in the car my balance point on the hoist was just a leeeeetle bit different
So back down undo the rear end springs etc. and try again! Much better, car no longer wants to do the "Hemi Under Glass" imitation while on the hoist.
This is the first time I have done this on a Mopar and really couldn't believe how easy it was. Hopefully when I get ready to put it back in it is just as easy!
So anyway a few more pics and it will be off to the blaster to find out what it really looks like. Should get it back in a few weeks, I am probably going to get it blasted by one outfit and then take it to my paint guy for a quick primer coat before I start the metal work. He stopped by over the weekend and thinks it is in pretty decent shape other then what I already know.
