After welding up a few cracks in the original subframe, I decided to use my spare subframe and pull the original for a few reasons. 1 for safety 2. I let a friend use my welder to build a smoker
So I used a spare subframe I have that is in excellent shape and needed no repairs.
I swapped the original control arms to the "new" sub with exception of the lower RH as it was too rusty. I used the drag link, tie rods from the new subframe as they are in fantastic shape. The draglink has original bluing visible when removing the undercoat. I also swapped the trans crossmember and frame stands. I have saved the "born with " subframe for a future restoration.
I will not be using the booster or metering valve in the photo as they aren't original. The control arm bushings and ball joints are new. I reused original hardware that was in great shape.

I also installed a late 66 date 1967 steering box and correct pitman arm. The 69 box that was on the car with the 5.8" desirable 69 pitman arm needs a rebuild and I decided to go with a 67 box and pitman rather than rebuild the 69 box. I'm listing the 69 box for sale.

A while back I found the perfect glovebox door to replace the damaged door on my car. I'm going to repair the original down the road.

There was a screw holding my original glove box closed but thank goodness the screw actually went through the hole for the glove box bumper so there was no damage done to the dash.

Part of the fun of putting this car together is finding the right parts and I've been very fortunate. The replacement door came from an Ohio 04C 4N car that was sold as a shell. The buyer didn't care to buy all the loose parts from the car so the seller sold the loose parts separately. I was able to buy a few parts from the car.
