    Removing all the oil from the bottom side around the rear end... Preserved the metal very well, was about a 1/4" thick though.. Also just welding up tons of small holes, need to get some aircraft paint remover now for the wheel wells and get all the stuff out of there looks like factory rock guard maybe? Also took out all the fiberglass the PO had on the quarter panels, thinking patch panels are the best option right now.

    I guess that's why you have to keep buying new tires and I'm still on the same dry rotted set from 1989 :biglaugh:

    Took the temporary Duraspark wiring off and started to make the new harness. Debated installing a ballast resistor. Read forums. Yes you need it...no you don't...yes you need it...no you don't...yes you need it...no you don't. :hmmm: :huh:

    After my head started to hurt, I ordered a ballast resistor.

    Pretty sure it boils down to your coil choice. :huh:
