Now with the trunk floor swiss cheese and wanting mini tubs I decided to just so a new complete trunk floor and buy a pre-notched one at that. UPS Day !!!
the trunk floor and outer wheel houses are from Classic industries and Mini Tubs Detroit Speed. RH wheelhouse I can already see a bit of an issue with the fit. On initial fit up found the issue was with the outer not the Detroit speed peice, Left side went together effortlessly.
On to the body cart after I came to the conclusion that my sandblaster isn't enough to even get through the seam sealer and most if not all the rusted panels were going to be replaced, I did how ever finish up the sub frame and the under side, I will do the inner part of the quarters once I remove the old quarter panels. and just the rest as I go along, mean while i will use a wire wheel and air sander on the areas that I'm working on as I go.
Got it on the body cart and square and level, then realizes that I'm not at the ride height, was so concerned about square and level that that slipped by......
Now back to the rust.... Left side inner rocker, not good not sure how exactly i want to tackle this, completely rotten about 8 to 10 inches deep from the wheelhouse forward.
Bought the full inner, but I think I will just section back to good steel and maybe all some reinforcement to be safe. This is where I sit for now, soon as I get some more sheet metal I will start on the rocker, want to make sure I have every thing in hand for test fitting. it will probably be a few weeks before I see new quarter panels.
Going to build the rear suspension my self, with the help of solid works and torchmate plasma, this was a tri four bar I was working in be for I decided on a three link with a watts link
