It's interesting how these cars rust. This picture is a little hard to see, but it is a view of the driver's side channel between the inner and outer longitudinal. It is looking towards the rear of the car toward the torsion bar tube with the interior of the car on the left and exterior on the right. You can see where the torsion bar tube meets the exterior of the car in the upper right you can also see some factory MIG blow through

The interesting thing is that the panels show no rust on the outside. This rust has traveled down on the inside from the channel between the inner longitudinal (sill area) and the inner/outer rocker which was incredibly rusty.

After a break for the holidays, it's back to work

The sound of the floor pan hitting the garage floor was very sweet. Much more difficult than I thought. Made a lot easier with the air chisel, but there were so many patches and welds on top the regular spot welds that it took a long time. I was surprised by how heavy it is.








The right tools are everything...the air chisel rocks
