Sorry to hear of your father's passing....   Looks like he left you a very cool project...    Welcome!!! Lotta guys here have been through these cars bumper to bumper so if you have any questions just ask...  Looks like the drivers side is buckled pretty good, you might want to have the frame alignment checked before you dig to deep.....   My car had a little twist in one rail.... Fixed it before metal replacement so everything was straight & everything fit as it should...

 :welcome: to the forum @best47! Nice project car! Sorry for your loss! Lots of good information and knowledgeable members willing to help out on anything you might have questions on! We are gluttons for information on new member's cars, so give us a rundown on all the bells and whistles, and we always love lots of pictures! Got any photo of the fender tag? Are you lucky enough to have broadcast sheet, too?

Inquiring minds want to know! LOL

I've found more in the front seat backs then rear seats, remove the two screws & you can look with a flashlight....... But rear seats are worth a look too.....

Welcome to the site from Ontario,  :canada: and good luck with the restoration. There are subframe specs somewhere here and you'd be well advised to check out how yours meets them what with that "pop" in the lft frt.  :wave:
