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.    Sent from my CPH1725 using Tapatalk |

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    Sent from my CPH1725 using Tapatalk |

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

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