Well I finally have everything off the frame and have stripped the paint and rust and everything off of it. I used a grider with a wire wheel, but if I had it to do over, I would have rented a sand blaster, oh well. Anyway I plan on preping it and POR-15ing it this weekend and I had a question about the fuel line/brake line etc. clips that are still on the frame. They look to be riveted on. Does anyone know how to remove these and more important how to put them back on. I saw ones in the Y1 catalog but there bolt on? Any ideas.
I've got updated pictures of the resto on my site: http://users.snip.net/~chopperroxie
Also for you concours resto types out there. The previous owner had installed polyurathane bushings in the front and rear control arms. I want to keep them in but wasn't sure if this is a good idea because I do plan to show this car. Any thoughts having to have the correct suspension parts (ball joints, bushings, etc) I'd like to do it right the first time, but I also don't want to waste money either.
Thanks
