Take a sawzall and cut the ends off of that crossmember.
It's alot easier to work on, with the bulk of that crossmember removed.
Then you just have 4 small pieces of steel to deal with!

If you are re-doing the exhaust,... cut that out of your way also.
Those rivets are a pain, so make your life easier.

If you don't have one already an air chisel would be your best friend.

Sawzall is the way to go, what a pain but worth it.

What are the advantages of coils over leafs? My 70 has leafs, my 67 had coils and can't notice a huge difference.

Thanks,

Tony
