Sub frame painted along with firewall. Prior to removing the sub frame i degreased and pressure washed underneath twice. 40+ year old bolt removal can be a chore.

Sub frame mounted with new bushing's. Upper and lower A arms blasted and painted with new bushings. New upper and lower ball joints and inner and outer tie rod ends. Sprayed bottom with undercoating while everything is removed. I have one patch of rust repair to do on the driver side lower cowl panel. I feel very fortunate compared to some of the Resto's i see on here. Now i have to order a front Disc conversion kit. I'm leaning toward's Matt's classic bowtie's kit. More photos soon i hope !!

You've got a lot to work with. My 69 restoration needs lots but I'm hoping to have it done before Easter. (Body and paint only.)
