Looking For Help With Taking Body Off Pan
« on: July 10, 2004, 12:19:55 AM »
i am just wondering if there is anyone, or some that knows a person or shop, that can help me take my body off my pan, then replace one heater channel, 2 other small patches, then put my body back onto a new pan. i also think, brakes will have to be switched, transmission, and drums.
i know this is alot of work, but i need get this car repaired and on the road again
thanks for you time
james.

anyone who has done this knows it is a huge undertaking and the job usually snowballs...
Good luck man ;)

FYI - it will cost you way more then a $1000 for that work - considering you needed a get to school car it looks more like you got a project car. And your looking at a few weeks worth of work.

i have one guy out on 0ave to call back on wednesday. depending on what he charges, i might just take the 74 out to the salvage. clear the garage, and work on it at night, and just have a fridge filled with beer for anyone that wants to stop by. i know basic tools sucks like shane said, but this might be my only option. i have a couple weeks to get it done. the only problem i see would be getting a person with a portable welder to come over and do some work for me.
but time will tell.
anyone want a 74 super for $150? haha
