Re: My 70 LS-6 project
Great pictures Ian. I have found most plants dip the pinion bumper brace in black paint whereas the Leeds cars always seem to be natural steel just like what yours appears to have been. What is that under the bolt head on the right side? Almost looks like remnents of a metal tag.

Re: My 70 LS-6 project
Thanks, The metal tag is the same thickness and material as a tag you would find on a 4 speed id tag.
The pinion snubber is bare steel as there were no drips on it like front control arms and other chassis pieces that i noticed.

Re: My 70 LS-6 project
----Your frame looks like so many other un-boxed frames on cars Ive seen and owned that were run hard. I call it "frame-itis". All pushed up in the un-boxed areas due to multiple tire swaps along with absolutely no thought as to where the jack was being placed. Easy enough to fix usually.
----I guess I may have missed something but was this car originally an L78 or an LS6?......Bill S
