1975 rust belt wonder

You guessed it...more fun with rusty metal. The insanity continues.

You may notice the fabrication method for the second frame rail changed. The first one was ridiculously hard to bend (16 gauge), so I re-created my own "welder-series" frame rail from stock. It still needs seam welding but this only took 35 minutes from start to finish...

Bring on the haters

The last of the frame rail repairs is done...

The main floor still needs welding, however its looking better. Notice that some of the gaps are a little large! (my fault!) luckily some backing copper should help here.

Any updates on this?! This blog was the main reason I took on my rusted shell project!

Guys...(and Girls...).

Its sad news....the car will be parted.

I have recently sold my welder and air compressor to pay some bills...and the bills are still mounting.

Luckily there is little investment in this car (bar time) so the loss is not huge. Most people would have crushed this car ages ago, so its not as if this thing was ideal.

So keep your eyes open I will be selling a ton of stuff including some new parts collected years ago...

Its a bitter sweet ending....
