just in case someone wanted to know the parking brake cable holes location/measurements. Don't laugh at my chicken scratch Holes are both 1/2" by 4" and both are 1" from the bottom. Out side hole (measured from the forward most end of the sub frame connector) starts at 4" and the inside starts at 16". Pay Pal gladly accepted

Just a little FIY, you can put multiple pics and text in one post........ might be easier. Just a thought. Looks good so far. So you were saying that the ball joint was actually in upside down.

drivers side connector with the E-brake cable passed through. i'm going to try to figure out how to post more than one pic per post. i must admit I'm allot more confident working on the car than this computer.

I guess I'm on my own. Other than some consultation from my brother, no one has chimed in. I am a bit nervous and don't want to screw things up. I have to remind myself that its my car and I can fix it if I do screw it up.

The Car was preserved perfectly from day one with I think Zebart Rustproofing. I love the results of the protection, I bet they used 50.lbs of tar undercoating. Chipping it off is about to kick my rear! I'm feeling my years quite clearly. Here are some proposed cut lines. I am going to think it over a bit. I already cut the trunk hinge brackets off the insides of the tubs and I drilled out the spot welds for the diagonal braces.
