Default Re: The New Project: Part Deux!

Finally got the car back today after the rear frame rail repairs which took a lot longer than expected. (surprise!). So at least the structural fix is done. I'll save the trunk drop offs and rear outer wheel house repairs for the winter when I pull the motor to regasket it.

Here are some shots of the frame repairs taken by the bodyman:

The underside of the trunk floor once the driver's side frame section was removed. Looks very clean.



And the replacement driver's side rail section being trial fitted:



He used leftover sections of the new rail to form inner braces to weld through the rails, to. This way the rails arent just butt welded end to end. He did this for all the frame sections.



The pass front rail with the welds all ground down:





And after some body filler was applied:



Masking off for painting (actually the red oxide primer).
