You must guess the part of the vette ... no generic reply like "rust".


Yes, I used to be a hand model in my early years.

I have never found my "part" in that condition

You must REALLY need to get some if it's lookin like that.

Hmmm The only other things I can think of would be a floorboard, tank sticker or heatercore.

That pile of rust? Hmm...*I* would say what was left of your radiator support...

That's what the bottom of mine looks like, on a California only '74 Vette...

Come Fri, I'm making a trip to IMS to get tubing/angle iron to try to weld up a radiator support per my father's engineering instructions.

Most people down here don't recognize good faux aligator when it's staring them right in the face! (sorry about the metal chunk spoiling the picture)
