My winter or many winters project
« on: November 09 2015, 12:59:12 AM »
So my car is a little rough in places, the PS rear is rotted pretty bad floors rear body mounts frame.
Ttop area is pretty rough too.
I picked up a shell and chassis from a buddy in exchange for me installing some floors. It's in really good shape and my plan is to pull the frame out and do what body work that needs to be done. Then get the frame stripped brace it up I might do a notch haven't decided.
Here it sits should have it separated next week end.

That is the way to do it! Don't fight the rot, replace it. Good luck... and do the frame notch.

Definately the way to go.  Charlie has a frame that he's done a bunch of mods to.  Maybe he will chime in with a list of things he's done

And a link to his frame thread. It is pretty interesting.
I am liking the project. I was against TTops but the older I get the more I'd like more than just two windows down.

Larry...call Dusty at PTC and go over frame notching with him. There's a right way and a wrong way...with the latter buckling the rear quarters on launch.

Thanks Brad
I will try and talk to Dusty.
I have a buddy close by that's a pretty smart cookie that's going to help me out.
He did a 79 Malibu frame off that is sick if mine comes out half as good I will be stoked!
This all started after I broke thru the 11:50 barrier and I was thinking about a roll bar so I was good to 10:00.
Once I really started looking at what I had it became clear this was the route to go.
The roll bar should also help hold it all together. Ryan ( my buddy) like things stout his car runs mid 10s built to go deep into the 9s.

Larry, I'm fairly certain a full cage is required to properly tie the frame notch into. Dusty will fill you in. You've got the car apart...may as well make it legal.

So all but 1 body mount came out....
The one that didn't is right behind the drivers door.  The channel is rotted it's the worse spot on the whole car.
We can lift it off as is just pulling what's left of the front suspension. We are having a lift party on the weekend set it on 4x4 and jack stands and drag the frame out!

Larry...this is prolly a stupid question...but how do vehicles rust out when you guys don't see snow out there....and the roads don't get salted.

So I have a question about the body mount repair washers. Can they be laid on top and welded if all are done? Or should they be cut in?
