Re: Restoring Rusty
Good job Greg! i remember motor removals and installs, except in old classic wooden boats. Just be glad you dont have wiring harnesses ontop of harnesses etc. etc. That makes it 10 times more of a headache

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hooray! Lol and while that may be, I'm surely not as awesome as Gregski! This thread is one of my all time favorites.

Re: Restoring Rusty
we remove the spark plugs and bag and tag them, even if these old ones aint going back in, we may need them to fill the holes while we paint the heads, etc.

Re: Restoring Rusty
started out by removing the wiring harness that runs across the top from the driver side to the passenger side
don't forget the grounds, there is one by each one of the headlights, and one on the frame rail |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I removed the headlight bezels because there are two hidden bolts hidden way up high under there
I think 7 bolts hold the radiator support to each fender, now there are 3 additional bolts that hold it underneath to the inner fender, but 7 go from the inside out to each fender |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I wanted to remove the front section as much in one piece as possible, but decided to remove the lower grille panel to get access to hidden fasteners
it was held on by 8 bolts, two in the middle and three on each end, like so |
