Rob, it's Sean. Leroy Rochester is what it says on the NYS Thruway exit (47) that you'd get off to go to my parents house if you were coming from Buffalo or points west. Always thought it was hilarious...
I did some fairly arbitrary seam welding on the subframe. Didn't really do any mods for clearance becuase it wasn't done on my '67 and those wheels worked fine. The factory welds on the sub were (are) horrifying... It's honestly the worst I've seen. I had half a mind to cut them all off/grind them and start over, but then I figured they were on there for 40 years and haven't broken, I'll give them a shot...
I think ultimately, if I decided to get a lot more radical with the car, I'd go with a fabricated subframe rather than polish this turd much more.
I'm always at something of a crossroads about what I "really" want to do with the car. Sometimes I want it to be more hard-edged and sometimes I want it to be a cool street car I can pass on to my kids when the time is right... Day to day on that one! Fortunately the time won't be "right" for a long time!
