Success was achieved with the spindle pins.   A little trimming and they are now in.

Thanks for the suggestions!

So easy to do suspension work when you can spin the car!

You are so right Charles!    Makes that headliner which is a pain normally a piece of cake.. lol.

Trying to get all the stuff on the underside done before the front suspension goes on, and it comes off the rotisserie.  The 2 post lift in garage will come in handy for that phase.

Just a word of caution about the amount of weight you reinstall on the car before it comes off the rotisserie, the bumper mounts can easily handle the weight of a stripped shell but would hate to see what happens if you reach the limit.

A very good point on weight Chris.  Aside from a few finishing touches on the underside and maybe install the rear wheel cylinders and connect the brake lines, it's about to come off the rotisserie and transfer to the 2 post lift to get the front suspension, rack etc on and back on the ground.   

A small follow up on Harold's 240,  and I guess a milestone, car is off the rotisserie, getting the front end stuff installed.  Should have wheels and rolling around on the ground soon.

I hope I have his level of energy and enthusiasm when I am in my eighties.  If you look in the dictionary under work ethic, you will see his picture ...
