The rotten old floor pan is finally OUT!

Slowly untangling the mess...

[daaboots]

Well I have the floor pan in for the most part. Still need to make some patches in the rear seat area and close up the openings I made to access the frame rails. The front section where it meets the firewall still needs a lot of work, as do the front rocker panels. It's getting there though, and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel!

Car is back in the shop... it's BUILD SEASON!!

First order of business is dropping the K-Frame so I can start working on the firewall. Can't wait to start tearing into this old girl again!

[daaboots]

K-Frame is out! Those torsion bars were a bit of a pain. Work on the passenger side has begun. The firewall is a complete mess, and the frame rail is a bit more rusty than I thought. One piece at a time!

Heee's back!

Good to see progress.
No envy on having to go that deep in.

New video just went live on YouTube!

Nice! Takes me back to the early days of my '74 Canadian Cuda restoration - and I am still working on the later stages years later.
I see your K-Frame has those two weird brackets sticking out of the front like mine does - from what I read this is on "some" '74s - not really sure what its for.
I had to do much of the same - patch up the firewall, replace inner fenders and patch or replace their brackets.

Things just got serious again 
Now I just need my firewall to arrive from Taiwan...

Next video is up on YouTube. I tackle the door jambs (is that what they're called?) along with a lower bulkhead on the passenger side.
