      Rear end out.

      Removing the front suspension

      Car on new tool.



      This should make easy work of the lower end.

                    Todays task was sandblasting I got about 40% of the underside of the car blasted tonight no pics I forgot my camera. I hope to get the rest of the car blasted this week and in primer and paint. I want to start putting all the new suspension parts on and get her back on four wheels by the end of the month.

                        nice! That's my next step for my mustang - put it on a rotisserie - after I build one. That Torino looks to be on the fast track now.
                        There's always something new to learn.

                            Yes Mike it is a nice tool,but I just borrowed it from a friend to do the bottom of the car. They are nice,but if your not useing them all the time they just take up to much space.
