Cool.... can't wait to see the updated pics.....
I've been thinking about building a new cross member, instead of using the stock one..... I found a local metal shop that will bend and cut pieces for me. They have been letting me QA some rolled tube from there new bender. I'm going to throw a few projects at them to see if they can pull it off.

Wow man....
Is rust really that big of a problem in Florida or is that not a Florida car?

It's an FL car....... the major problem is it came from the beach area.... the salt air is just as bad as the northern roads if not worse.....Also at some point in it's life the car was "SAND" blasted and not cleaned properly. I cleaned most of the sand out when I removed the side cowl panels....
Right now the car is on hold till I can either get a donor car or a new one... The substructure is completely gone on both sides. Right now no one makes patch panels for this area of the car and from what Classic industries and Goodmark told me today, it's not to promissing.
