Yesterday after work I spent a couple more hours scraping and wire brushing the frame rails and front suspension. I came to the realization that I need to either - quit while I am ahead, or take everything apart. I spoke to my father last night, and he said he hadn't gotten around to replacing the bushings. That said, it is definitely coming apart. New bushings will be ordered today.
As you can see in these pictures, with it all together - there simply is no way I will ever be able to get everything clean like I want.

Working on these cars is labor of love. It will be well worth it when you are done.

Spent the rest of the afternoon stripping and priming the driver's side frame rail.
  Today's agenda - remove old bushings, strip and primer these...

I would put ball joints in it while you got it apart.

Made progress on the electrical. Got my dash lights working after replacing the light switch. Heater works if I wiggle the switch, so time for a new switch. Still have no tail lights. Need to check the ground, I'm hoping thats the problem.

Made arrangements to have the new EFI installed and the air conditioning installed. I will be checking with NPD to see if they have them in stock. Should have my car at the shop early next week.
WOO HOO !

It was a real chore to uncover him and drive 10 miles to get him up to operating temperature and change the oil and filter on Sunday.Sometimes I wonder if it is really worth keeping the car.
