I didn't see what he used to support the front clip, other than the fender bolts. I would fab up tubular structures to sit on the floor and support the front of the fenders to hold that weight, as the front will sag with only the fender bolts to hold it. Don't open a door after sub frame removal, or you risk scraping the leading edge on the fender.

Obviously personal choice on how deep you want to get. If the rest of the car is in really nice condition, I would pull it and have it baked to remove grease and then sand blasted before epoxy prime and paint. I had my '67 sub frame powder coated, but it's not #'s matching, so not worried about correct appearance, although it looks very much like the factory satin finish.


Outlaw has the right idea. Any support is better than none.
