as does the guy that promised to check out this car. it's boiling my eggs with every new development. wait til you get to the rust repair on the frame. check by front struts and rear trailing arms. I have had repairs in both those areas on 65 &amp; 66 big cars.

Checked the frame out pretty closely.......Those area's were solid....but...I found a pencil sized hole in the outer frame rail in front of the drivers side rear wheel......started pecking on it and it started to grow.....LOL.....I ended up putting in a couple of small patches after getting to solid metal....I was going to bring the wire welder home from the shop ( my cars are now &quot;Banned&quot; from coming into the shop)but it didn't work out....and.....The Princess left her purse out and I bought a new 115 volt welder for the garage....Wow!! what a machine......Technoligy has come a long way....Zapped the patches in place....Good as new.....sprayed some undercoating and except for the color it's good as new....





Also.....My mint survivor Grille had been smashed and straightened in it's past to where the bars would need some welding and straightening......It's the top grille in the pic's and it doesn't look bad in the pic, but, it's not of the quality I would put on the car after finishing.....So....I bought one off eBay that is perfect (lower grille in pic), but it still needs to be stripped,Bright Dipped and reanodized......$$$$ Love those Mint Nu Yawk cars...



Also....I moved all the parts into the basement so I can sort thru and clean, paint, and detail for reassembly.......She's gonna be &quot;pissed&quot; when she go's down there....LOL...













The fenders are now at the body shop and being worked on and the trunk lid is going tomorrow.....Getting close for whats left of the body to go there for repairs and finishing

My wife's purse is my ATM. Grab a wad of cash and go.

Ken,
I didn't see a gas bottle. Is that a flux-core model?

I have an older Miller Cricket that I still use fairly often (in fact, I used it tonite to tack something on the hood of the '31). Handy as heck! I've thrown it in the back of the truck and done quick repairs on porch railings, basement window frames, exhaust pipes, .......... one of the best investments I ever made!

The Welder is a new Politically correct model........It go's both ways........It is flux core right now.....to switch to gas....add a bottle....change the welding wire and switch two wire in the machine and it's good to go....

Hey kwhizz.

That core support looks similar to one I am trying to ID. Next time you look at your core support can you compare it to the one shown here:
Chevy Core Support ID
