This bit had some rust. Sills will probably  come off to check for more.this is the worst rust ive found in the whole car so far.pretty lucky  i think.easy fix. Contemplating welding some rhs  into the sill to strengthen the chassis aswell.i 've been thinking of cutting off the sills to do this anyway.

Finally got the k frame and front inner skirt welded in. Big milestone for me. Something I've been putting off for a year or more. Glad it's done. Now I can move on to the fun stuff again

Top job wayno. Your radiator support looks very good. Do you have a specific radiator in mind?

Too good to be true of course. Just because it was in a Natrad box and had a fresh coat of paint. Still it’s better than the one I have, albeit that one is a three core. I gave him $40. Apology for the hijack Wayno.

Geez mate, you move fast!  I had to replay it 3 times before my eyes adjusted  Cheesy

What did you tack to the roof for the slide hammer to grab on to - are they pins that you buy?

Cheers,

just tacked 2.4 mm tig welding rod .
my friend just purchased a similar tool that spotwelds then slide hammer etc
it cost him over a 1000 bucks
i found a chuck from an old drill and saw the slide hammer.......
found some threads to screw the 2 together and i had this great little tool to pull stuff out where you cant get behind with hammer and dolly
