Thnx, I will need luck. I've got it all taken apart now except for what I need to roll it out for some blasting. http://s1284.beta.photobucket.com/user/daytonakid/media/68%20charger/IMAG0794.jpg.html I think I should add my new sub-frame connecters and fix the floors before I remove the K member, front and rear suspension, rear end, etc.. So I ordered new floor pans from amd today, trunk and interior. To help keep it straight I think I should replace the interior floor 1st, the main and rear foot wells is all it needs on the interior. Once that is done I'll do the trunk along with the mini tub mod. I gotta have some of those Caltrac traction bars. Saw those on a b-bod that launched like crazy and he swore by them. They look like really good stuff. Anybody else ever heard of or used them?

Yea, I have decided that me trying to go back with it to it's most valuable state would not be something I have the time, patience, and money for. I think I can keep it valuable enough by doing what I'm going to do right. I guess I should start another thread but I'm going to just keep going with this one to keep up with and document my progress.
Either way you are going to spend money so wipe the tears now and dig in.

Take the floor pans and trunk floor out and leave them out for blasting this way you can get inside the frame rails, treat them then weld the floor and trunk pans back in.

Well I have got the floor pans out of the interior, and doing a little preparing and patching with my welder to the framework under the floor where I rotabroached too far thru in a few spots. Next I will blast in and around the framework that the floor will cover. Then I am going to prime the hidden areas with rustoleum and wire brush the spots where the pans will weld in. Also, I found some rear frame rail covers which will work great for covering my rusty ones.> https://www.yearone.com/Product/1966-74-a-b-e-body/fr317lhrhAnd added some more pics to the bucket> http://s1284.beta.photobucket.com/user/daytonakid/library/68%20charger
