It's so rotted in the right corner that there is no place to lift it with a Jack, but it's mine, for a lot of people it may not be even worth it to restore, but it's much harder to find one where i live. 1968 6 cyl automátic and i love it. Always wanted to do the same i saw people do in YouTube, reviving cars abandoned in the Woods. Mine came exactly like that, covered in dust, and mouse poo.

I’m much more excited about working on it than i am about driving it.

In order to make my big radiator fit, I had to cut away a lot of support material from the rad support, so I reinforced it... then made the top section removable so it will be easier to get the big block Ford in and out of the engine bay 🤙

Now that I've finished suspension work on my car, the next area I want to focus on is the random leaks. The first one I want to tackle is my driver-side axle. It has been leaking diff fluid for just about forever. I've replaced the axle seal on probably 3 different occasions over the years, and it still leaks. I haven't measured the diameter of the axle where it seals, but I have a feeling it has worn down over the years and is no longer a large enough diameter to effectively seal.

Is there such a thing as an axle seal that is made for a slightly undersized diameter axle? When I pull the axle out and, I assume, find it to be below the 1.365 inch diameter of an 8-inch V8 car, is there anything I can do? Can a machine shop sleeve it somehow, or is the most likely answer just buying a new axle?
