Stage 1: Start of the Restoration in our garage


       

300 Ohm TV antenna wire was used from the dash board back to the rear lights when the turn signals were added.
   
                 
                                   
  AND THEN WE TOWED THE CARCASS DOWN TO MYRTLE BEACH, SC --
WHERE THE DISMEMBERMENT WAS COMPLETED.		      
       
             
      I'm the one on the left and son Chuck's on the right. As you can see he has the right type of facility for this endeavor.        
Wow, these things are really light when you get the dashboard out. Lifting it up there was a challenge though. If you want to see how we did it, click here.
Pat and I went back home while Chuck and a British Tranny specialist from Ohio examined the inner workings
       
   
   
Oh Come On! You didn't really think we lifted that thing up did you? We did try lifting up just one end at a time and found it very easy. But anything more than that is hernia-time.
