is the main body real rusty... Like the heater channels if so be careful.


On the drivers side the heater channel has a hole thru it about 3 inches back from the vent. The whole left side of the pan is gone,where the seat is, over to the center hump. The left door and the running boards are gone. But the body, fenders, hood, and trunk just have the surface stuff.


Talk to Boom on lifting the body with bad heater channels . I don't know if it is better to replace before or after you lift the body off. Just be sure to brace the door area to assure that there is no warping etc :dance:



^^^^That discussion definetly happened today^^^^

I had a good time today and learned some stuff too. I enjoyed meeting everyone. It's right at 60 miles from the shop to my house. :zzz: I wish I could have helped more but I didn't know what to do.....Hey Boom Iwas told to ask you about pulling the body off a rusted pan(earlier in this thread).
