1959 Thunderbird Original Restoration (Part 3)

Wrestling with removing the engine, transmission, drive shaft, leaf springs and rear end. I got a heck of a lot done this episode. Also was able to get the motor to spin freely and got a look at what damage the #5 cylinder may or may not have had. Definitely might have dropped the transmission... and found out for sure that I may need some new leaf springs.
