welded in the floor above the torque box and torque box. just the frame rail splice piece to do and its on to pieces that will move along faster and easier not having to be on my back so close to the bottom of the car!
lot more room to work on the rest of it. felt like my car had a decent amount of rust but after watching others new purchase threads, i'm sittin' pretty good! i'm applying multiple coats of por 15/weld thru primer/undercoat when i'm done with an area. triple the welds as the factory as well.
they don't make a torque box floorboard piece so I bought the under rear seat and the rear floorpan even though I only needed small pieces of each. the fun part is rustproofing way beyond the factory efforts preserving things another 45 years and beyond.
I can't imagine paying a body restoration shop to do this work, would cost a fortune its definetly labor intensive and I can see now how a restoration shop would ka-ching the cash register on ya for 60 plus grand!
