Well.... She's up in the air finally   One thing I realize now though is amount other things I need a new fuel tank. I saw some threads that were a little older, just wondering if anyone had some more recent suggestions |

Many places make very nice custom aluminum tanks for not a lot of money. I had one custom fabricated for my Avenger from a boat place in Florida.

I had one custom fabricated for my Avenger from a boat place in Florida. considering i'm in florida that might work out  actually looking at it, it was my wife who thought there was a hole. I can' t see one. I'll pull it, which is easy enough up in the air, clean it up and see if there is a hole and decide what to do from there $700 for full new brakes including rotors + drums, all the rubber steering and suspension related components, shocks, etc. Not too bad. then it's $240 on one of the rebel wiring harnesses and it will start going back together. Next week is some floorpan cleanup and the POR15 treatment, then start on the suspension stuff. |

GOTTA GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE:Quote & Pix From Brian Boggs, Senior Member & inventor of "The Bradley Lift" - - - Here is how I lifted mine by myself. Four posts made up of two 2x4's with a spacer between them. Drilled holes every five inches for a carriage bolt. Positioned them by the wheel wells and slid another 2x4 through from one post to the other. Lifted at each corner one hole at a time. Then when its up you can slide the pan out to work on it then put it back when you are done.

What I hadn't realized a the time is that given where the 2x4s end up underneath that I can actually lower it a bit, and paint the car while its on there. That should be pretty helpful. I might put it on the floorpan without bolts to roll it outside to do sanding and maybe even some filler primer painting, but having it at a moderate height on the gantry would be excellent for painting. |
