Default Re: The fun begins on the Y Nova

Hey Bob,
Is this the car I remember seeing pictures of, that was really straight, the guy had it hauled to a shop, and the shop let another car roll into the front end? I remember reading about that on this board, but I can't find the string...
-Sam

Tap the floors with a ball pean hammer. Then put your light under the car. That will show you where all the small pinholes are, and help you decide if you're going to try to weld them up, or replace the floor. Looks like the areas above the torque box's are good.

Are you going to buy that special tool to duplicate factory pop rivets?

Thanks Bill, I gotta give credit to Bruce (XplantDad) for finding those photos as well. The one under BelAir's lift is defintely not C-Silver.



Hey Bob, wouldn't it be easier to put that car ON the lift to take it apart?

Oh, never mind....
