Got the roof stripped and was happy to find clean metal except for a handful of small pitted areas which I hit with the bucket blaster. Shot the epoxy on it this morning.
Why are you saving the tunnel? I would just buy the full floor pan and do it right rather than have to splice in and weld separate drivers and passenger pans.
Ya, I`m usually really carefull and safe about being under a car when it is raised up and NEVER under just a hydraulic jack, always jack stands or solid blocking. That was a lapse of thinking and rushing a bit that could have been bad. Luckily I caught it as soon as it tilted back and no harm...
I had not bolted in the rear end due to the undercarriage needing a small spot blown in with epoxy but I got that done when I was spraying the rockers so in it went. FYI - when you bolt in an 8 3/4 rear onto a bare shell it makes the back a bit heavier, I found that out real quick when I lowered...
I hear you on this! The only reason I had mine on a rotisserie is because I got it for FREE off Craigs List years ago, I had to modify to fit so I have a few bucks in steel and welding supplies but just sold it for $500 as I`m done with it. :p The only thing I regret is not spending the...
Repair vs replace is a judgement call, if it` not too big of an area and the majority of it is solid then I might repair if any large protion needs to be replaced and/or the rest is a bit thin due to rust I would just replace it as it is a structural part of the unibody. As for a frame jig again...
And there are often exceptions with Mopars. I bought a complete dash with Rallye gages that had a '73 Satellite vin tag but had the extra indicator lights so maybe it was a late '73 change? The factory would also use up any inventory so an early '74 model could have got a '73 style bezel.
440 will bolt right onto the 383 k-member as they are basically the same with very minor differences from `66-72.

You are concerned about doing the quarter/roof seam? There is lead-free solder you can use but I have never used it. My method was to plug weld the seam then weld a strip of metal over it to build up and reinforce the area so there is less to fill. I then start with ALL-Metal or you can use a...
If you are on FB try this guy as he has a bunch of `71-74 dash parts. Be aware the `74 dash bezel is unique and different from the `71-73 as it has two indicator lights on the rigth side of the light and wiper switches the others don`t...
