Just need to repro the little fold over lip to secure the very good rubbers Lowlife. Or have you already?

I will be taking some sets to the Nationals in Canberra.

And they are a good product. See more discussion here: http://forum.fefcholden.club/index.php?topic=16530.0

Stacks were a Holden Distributor in Sydney in the early days.

Our Standard Wagon was supplied by Stack
attached images of the folder that came with it

Here are some of the different types of Stack badges I have found over the years that Stacks were operating

Like a lot of older Holden stuff these and I suspect other badges are being reproduced and some are hard to pick

Thanks for all the info guys.

Now that I know where they were, do you think they will fix all the rust under warranty 😂😂😂

Let me know how you go with the warranty submission, I've got a heap of claims I can think of  :o ;D

I was the same when I cut mine,  thinking where to cut and what to leave..  I tried to picture the sand blaster getting access to all the inners. I think that's the best idea.  I also thought it would be a little more ridged when travelling the more you leave on there...     But when it comes down to it.. the new sill requires you to remove back to spot welds top and bottom...


I would also recommend taking as much of that black seam sealer off as you can. Does not have to be perfect, just the blast struggles to move the big lumps. Especially in the rear quarters behind the rear wheels. As my blaster did not take that back to the metal  and I have found rust does grow under it... :-\ :-\

Thanks cam. Same train of thought here, I know I'll need to cut more off later but thought it'd be best wait til after the blasting.

I would cut as close as you’re comfortable to the inner sill, leaving the turned up lip on top and flat spot welded strip on the bottom. Then grind out the spots on the bottom and peel off. Cut off the top lip horizontally and grind out the spots again on top. You may want to avoid cutting through the turned up edge of the floor panel when you do this, depending on what is left of it and whether it is welded to the outer sill lip. Then  you can assess the inner and clean up or replace. Take care around the A, B and C pillar bottoms of course which you are best to attack cautiously bit by bit with the grinder. Just my 2c worth.

How good a shot with a welder are you?  I figure it's easier to repair what you've got . . .

. . . and then I just discovered a pair of them.  Would you like them?
