Is that grease on the rotor? That's no good if it is.

no its the stuff that was on it when i pulled it out of the box, i sprayed it down with brake cleaner. just a bad camera.

I moved it Duke.

First you take off the hood and nose, core support Then you take off the fenders and support the body. There is 6 bolts that hold the front clip on, pull front clip straight out. This is a good time to work on your firewall ie other parts that would be hard to reach. Slide new clip back in making sure you measure and center your front clip, I used the center of the back frame bolts to the center of the front frame bolts, then put back together

Not that hard was it! Put some Honey Combs on that car and give those wheels back to the brother you got them from. lol

That old car use to do some good donuts.

It has the honeycombs back on it why dont you like those wheels they are the same sixe as yours and they dont have dinky tires? jus asking how we gonna do this motor let me know Ill have money real soon,,, money for bertha!!!?

what was the reason to swap out the whole front subframe?

The guy I got the car off off dropped in a 30 over 455 which he went straight ahead and pulled it out to see what it would do. He then ran it straight into a ditch, back out and came to a crashing stop. It bent the front frame rails. I worked on it enough to get the dog house back on it and you couldn't tell it was ever wrecked. But the frame was bent.

well that would be a good reason to ditch the old and getta new

When i pulled the motor, the mounts for the motor were even off, and would not line up, if I had any pics of the motor then Rebstew had made a carb plate that centered the scoop in the middle of the cowl hood, and kept everything in line , Of course when the hood flew off and I put the shaker back on I always had problems untill I put that new clip in, sucky part is its off a 76 so my springs are not as stiff, i changed my steering box off the old clip but left the rest alone, Did anybody know besides Rebstew that calipers and brakes are different sizes on a 76 than a 77 ,I didnt till I made a couple trip back and forth from autozone.[quote]

well I would but steve stewart bought mine he mentiond taken some daniel kid idk

ok I started the car and moved it from one side of the driveway to the other, I have ordered my fuel line off ebay got it for 15 bucks steve if you still need one i would check this place out, let me know and I will get you the address, so after having this car for so long I think I am to attached to the inner parts, it is burning up outside so I got the three sockets and ratchet I needed I ran outside while my neighbor was standing outside and had him help me with the hood, after that i went around the fenders and nose and took all the bolts out, in 27 min I had the car looking like this,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, time to go in for a pepper next tackle the intake and manifolds fingers crossed no bolts break

got the intake bolts all off sprayed a whole bottle of wd on manifold bolts, maybe try them tom

Why are you taking it apart?
