    exhaust out. next figure out how to remove the axles and parking brake cables on the rear and pull it out for the new one. cut out the rust in the floor and try out my new welding machine, strip and paint the engine bay, and try to deal with the wiring(ewwww) because PO did a number on it.
    Oh, and go look at another car...just a shell but a grabber shell

    Happy Holidays (y)

    Well, the HF spring compressor is holding my spring captive. I'ma figure out how to get them back to take the pass spring off. Tomorrows plans are:

    1. free the spring
    2. pull the axles to disconnect the parking brake cables
    3. drop tank
    4. drop rear end
    4.5 maybe drill out the rivets holding some of the engine compartment stuff on and take out the rear seat.

    AND pic update... to the tech articles!
    God bless

    edit: wowww just got the rear end out. 30 year old bolts don't play

    really cool article Ford 8-Inch Rebuild - Geared Up - Modified Mustangs & Fords
