Hi all, I bought this rust free mostly unmolested ‘75 over the summer. It hasn’t been on the road since the early 90’s so the brakes, suspension, gaskets etc need to be gone thru. I want to preserve it and want to get it to a reliable driver status for occasional use, the only thing I’m going to do to alter it is probably a 2.5” lift and 33” tires with Indy Mags or white Steelies.
My question is what would you do with the undercarriage after replacing all the bushings and springs and shocks etc? It’s going to be all apart so should I just replace the parts and keep it as is or or should I go down the rabbit hole and pull the body off and blast and paint the frame, steering, diffs etc (essentially restore the chassis)? I want the Body and drivetrain to retain its ‘as is’ appearance.
What would you do?
