Read the other threads on massive rust repairs.
Jeff Hail's is a classic http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=76791 Brent Brock's is a very recent succsss story that just got back on the road a couple weeks ago. Good example of a car that probably should have been scrapped but looks showroom fresh now. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=307290 There are literally dozens of these build threads on the forum My personal advice would be to buy as much complete metal as you can. Floor pans, longs, rear bulkheads, etc. Don't lose track of the need for structural integrity for both performance as well as crash worthiness. It's not just about fixing "holes". Rule #1 of work like this - you can't weld to rust. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) read, read, read. There's an old but good thread, digging into hell. Also, buy some some good PPE. Protect your face, eyes, lungs and hands. You will probably be using an angle grinder and the proper safety equipment is way cheaper than a trip to the ER. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
