Worked some more on the steering coupler today. I wasn’t able to drive out the rivets yet even though i ground off both sides of it. I likely fused the metal worse from the heat of grinding the ends off. I might try drilling them out tomorrow or if i can find that a new steering coupler is cheap enough I’m just going to cut it out with the body saw it would be so much easier to not try and save it.
While i was working on this i realized I had a pretty good view of the frame head and the rust contained there. This is the whole reason i need to get the body off the pan is to take a look at how bad this area is.
It looks a little worse than what i was expecting and its definatelly in the tunnel. I guess I’m this far I may as well continue heck I might actually learn something. I’m pretty sure that the new frame heads you can buy don’t go back that far……
more tomorrow…….
