Nice work ... especially for learning as you go. This definitely has my interest now.

Amazing shape on that parts car slice ... very nice condition. If you weren't so far away, I would have been knocking on your door for that drivers rear quarter. Someone here will want some of those leftovers.

I wish my dad when bought the car would have got the $99.00 rust treatment.....this is what happens when you dont get it....I will install the new floor then deal with this once the jackstands can be moved...

another shot of the ugly...

this is the patch that will be installed after the floor goes in....I havent done this type of repair before so I have been looking at the other threads for info...

What are you going to do for a gas tank?

**Jamie Miles** · 2012-06-07, 21:58

That is one hell of a project.

I have the bottom mount tank...it will fit through the hole if I trim the sides of the opening 1/8"...the best thing to do is to find a drop in tank...here in Minnesota this item might be tough to find.......
