Hello, I am new here but an old friend to Z cars. Great website with lot's of help - nothing like restoring during the late 70's early 80's- . Yesterday, I brought my 72 240 home from 23 years of commercial storage. Cripes I could have bought the building it stored in for the rent paid! Back then, I replaced every body panel but the roof, floors & frame rails,- the engine, tranny, brakes etc were aok when last shut off. But alas, the corrosion caught up to me making it undriveable. If I remember, it was all of 12k 1984 dollars. The front fenders and valence are fiberglass- whatever became of that company?? I thought they made a pretty good product. Can I replace the rails & floors not using a rotisserie? I'll pull the engine & tranny, remove the front steering/suspension completely, and strip the interior. It just breaks my heart to have to disassemble much more I'd like to leave the fenders on. If so, how can I support the car while doing the rails?? Are Charlie's frame rails slip on or do you remove the originals completely? Maybe do the floors first and support across that while doing the front? How could I raise the car higher once it is stripped? Any advice is appreciated,
