Dude thank is all I am gonna say because I am not done watching. But you are making my child hood dreams in a way come true. Who didn't want one of these as a kid ?
Just discovered this. Very nice job. I will look forward to seeing more of your work. I hope I never have to get this deeply involved in renovations, but you never know. 76 Glenbrook
You’re pulling the front clip? As in pulling the motor or dropping the front subframe? Based on what I’ve done, the former would be tough (but many have done it) and the latter would be horrible.
Unbolting and removing the entire engine, transmission, suspension and front frame assembly. I think overall it will be more work, but hopefully more satisfying. Planning to work on engine and transmission, maybe swap out the suspension bushings, paint frame, and serpentine belt conversion? (although I have not heard any good experiences by Motorhome owners for this). I also need to address A/C and environmental control in the cab. Other possibilities may present themselves. I have all winter to work on the assembly inside a heated garage. @@madebyjnd
In thinking about it, I think you're right in proceeding as you are. It would be as tough to pull the engine through that keyhole and then out that little door on the side. Good luck!
