  3. Holy crap! you are a lucky man! Im ruling out cinder blocks.heard many horror storys about that happening.Im going to put the 14inch rims with no tires on,then i shouldnt have to lift the body so high to clear the wheels.(works in my head) Not sure yet how to brace it though,a buddy is outta town at the moment so i may wait till he gets home monday as he has some heavy duty truck jack stands i can borrow for awhile.I also have his cherry picker as well lol.OR if i get antsy i may buy some from harbor frieght and just give them to my buddy when im done.He does big truck repair and IF i ever need them again im sure i could borrow them lol Plus he gets the fun of storing them as well LOL

  6. OK i have been trying to apply chassis saver in the cowl area,its rusty and i see no way to access this area...pics help understand lol i have a pump type sprayer,i modified to be used for paint,chassis saver has their own reducer.I plugged the very tip of the wand sprayers tip,then put a couple small holes around the sides.it works so far with water in that it sprays to the sides now.tomorrow will be the test lol
  7. Gas tank was SANDBLASTED lol at MASTER BLASTER in new hudson,then i primed and painted.tomorrow i will glass bead blast the tank straps and paint black.I am seriously considering pulling the body off now,i cant find a good place to run the fuel lines(safe place) lol i would like to paint the frame also....F**K!

  11. Not sure where the exhaust will exit yet.also dont know how i underlined this reply LOL
  12. I parted out a lemans a few years ago and in the backseat was a brand new rear valance with the cutouts for the exhaust.The guy i bought my Lemans from used to tow it with a chain hooked up to the rear frame crossmember,to move it around the barn.So as a result he bent the hell out of that crossmember.I wasnt able to install the valance due to the damage.now that the gas tank is out i straightened it all up using a come along strapped to the rear axle gear housing.wish i had pics lol,once i start i can't stop lol.Heres a before and after.72 had a plastic valance with no cutouts,71 was steel with the cutouts.Seems my 72 is slowly becoming a 71....
