Great cage work Bonnet. It's really very good work, and I'm glad you were able to salvage the rest of the car by doing that work. Too many of those cars get stripped and left in fields to eventually be crushed.

Hey thanks, it's allway's nice to be complimented A few friends told me to part the car out. Is far as remaining rust damage, there is a small hole in the frame, nothing I can't fix! Here's a picture for you......

Looks like I jacked my own thread WB

It's your thread and you can do what you like. Besides...frame work is an underlying issue of body prep.

Good luck with that frame work...it's hard to get to under there, and the body above it may get some schtick from the welding...keep us posted on that progress as I assume that's coming soon.
