How long have you owned the car?
I bought it in 07'. From a drug dealing kid who had it for bout a month. The owner before him was the original owner. At the time I had an 83' regal on 22" and serous music in it. I use to do bass race in it. They recorded me at 147.7 bd with 2-10" woofers anyways. After I got it came on hard times almost sold it but I didn't. Had no place to live but I payed my storage bill every month lol. Now I'm doing a lot better have a house and ready to restore her

so my question is which way is the best way to remove the brake fluid with out a big mess? I was thinking open bleeder valve and let it drip out . Is there a better way

Open bleeder valves and pump the brakes to empty your lines into a catch container, then let them drip or a little forced air. You really want your lines empty if you plan on removing them. Do you have a budget or just winging it?

Got it off!! was a lil scary doing it by my self. Frame looks good. Even the body bushing holes look good
 
Is this your first time doing a frame off? By your pics you made it look easy, even tho I am sure that it wasn't. You are doing great!!! Where did you get the tall jacks to lift the body off and those super tall jack stands?
