Feels like we've turned a corner. After completely stripping the car down to just the shell, mounting it on a rotisserie, tubbing the rear-end, and painting the underside-- reassembly has started. Woo hoo! The rear end is the logical place to begin, so new seals in the diff, new bearings in the uprights, all new bushings, and all new grade-8 hardware. The only things left for the rear end are a) shortening the drive axles (by ~1 inch); b) buying/installing springs and shocks; and c) building a new driveshaft. But none of these remaining elements are actually slowing down the reassembly. Woo hoo! Should have the car back upright withing 1-2 weeks....
