My -71 SB wasn't too bad when started but it came from Michigan and there was a lot of surface rust on the frame I decided to check it out. The mileage was stated to be original 36k but doesn't matter to me. I plan to drive it lot more (even if it was 136k)
(the method of lifting the body looks kinda radical but nothing was damaged. Hopefully) ![Eek! :o :o](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png)
Finally got the body separated from the frame.
Found what was left from tanksticker
Nothing serious in the frame. Had it sandblasted and painted with 2 coats of POR-15 and 2 coats of POR-15 chassis black. Also sprayed rust-preventive coating inside the frame. This is actually the situation now. Now I have spend weeks in restoring all the other components. Have also the carpet set ready to be installed. Painting will happen sometime later.
