  2. What's up haven't seen any pics yet.

  3. I bought a special blade made specifically for cutting aluminum (or any soft metal), it has some modified tooth angle or something for soft metals. Cuts through like butter. Like mentioned above I use wax on the blade as a lubricant. You can use a regular blade too I've heard...
  4. Thanks for the pictures. I have the exact same welder and this is making me think about trying this out.
  5. What do you want for the body? Save me a whole year of work. I'm local too.
  6. I think your right hoov100, I'll need the whole thing blasted. If the rockers weren't so bad I wouldn't be so concerned. the trans tunnel and roof is about the only thing holding the front and back together.
  7. Very little. I was hoping to make my own floors and make rails/subframe connectors from tube steel and lots of my free time.
  8. A while ago I got a couple 240’s and tons of parts and finally brought one home on Friday. I live in WI and the car spent most of it’s life in Chicago. It’s got some pretty bad rust down low, but I’ve seen some pretty bad stuff restored on here, so tell me what you think, restorable, or more work than it’s worth. Just looking to get an idea of what I’m getting into before undertaking this. Am I OK to drive this as is with the frame rails and rockers so bad? Below are some pics: Floor boards: Some pretty good holes, all rust, they will have to go for sure. Rockers: The guy cut the outside off, so this is what it looks like on the inside of the rockers. It’s running short on good metal to weld to. Frame Rails: On the passengers side I can wiggle the end of the frame rail with my hands. The rusty chunk in the picture is what’s left of the frame rail Undercoating is cracked and bulging, so likely there is ton’s of rust under there. Rear Quarters: The last guy cut out the rust and hacked in these panels. I think what he’s got is salvageable. There’s some other rust around this area, but nothing too terrible. I have full rear quarters the guy gave me if I need them. The good news is forward of the firewall things look OK except the right side strut tower has some rust. Under the cowl, battery tray area, upper rails under fenders, and front frame rails all look OK. Rear hatch deck looks OK, there is some pretty decent rusting going on around the fuel filler tube (Can I get to this from underneath?) Car:
  9. Parts are looking nice. I hear ya on the weather, need some decent weather to get mine home and start working on it.
  10. Looks very nice, good job! Kinda OT, but what kind of steering wheel are you using?
  11. Does Hagerty have a plan so you can drive it around town and stuff too.
  12. I have this on my to-do list in the future. I was going to monitor the two carbs separately. I only have one sensor and planned to swap between two bungs. Might not be necessary, but I'm anal. Kinda OT, but what kinda ratios are you shooting for?
  13. Unless you have a trailer queen that's a little restrictive.
