I appreciate the workmanship that you employ during this repair/restoration. Most shops would have certainly NOT gone to the extent that you apparently have.

I also hope that you are compensated correctly and sufficiently from the insurance company and the customer doesn't have to top up the bill.

Because the subframe connectors were welded to the rear torque box the frame rail and rear floorboard was damaged but it stopped here.



You never know what is inside your rocker panels



The floors had been patched with fiberglass a long time ago.

Well, that's certainly the hard road to get your drop offs fixed!

Lol! I was talking to an old timer long ago at a swap meet. He had just the firewall of some rare teens car for sale. I asked what could you do with that and he replied "Weld the rest of the car to it."
So, going to fix the extra radio holes too?

We are not just fixing a wreck we are restoring a 1966 Mustang and it will be mounted on a rotisserie.

Rusty, Everyone of your posts makes me miss my days of being around this kind of work on a daily basis.

But then it hits me that I couldn't surf the 'net at work like I do now. ;^)
