Uh... so like, where's the problem??  :shruggy:

You're car looks very soldi. Those rad support baffles are now available brandy-new, they're just in place with a few spot welds.
I actually found sectioning in a repro trunk floor to be very easy, my first attempt. After a little trimming, it dropped right in. Smooth out the seams with a little bodywork, & no one will ever know. You got a good foundation there.  :2thumbs:

I'm just wondering, how did you get a camera (& sand!) to get inside the cowl like that??? Fantastic!!

It's not too bad on the rust side. But I have to replace the quarters, rear tail light panel, left fender, left trunk connector. All from bad wrecks I think it was in a derby at one time  :'( And a few patches here and there. That's not a problem for me I have 25 years experience in welding and fabrication. Not in auto work but plant work. Were I suck is in the painting, but I'm getting better :2thumbs:

Thanks I'm trying to find a good place to buy trunk floor and connectors there a place on ebay. But by the time you pay shipping.  :shruggy: Any ideas I'm looking for the best and the cheapest. :slap: And I still don't understand why someone cut holes in this car. It has two Small holes in the tunnel also :shruggy: when I got the car there was nothing running though them The car was schedule to be crushed in a California recking yard. So maybe they did it.
