Is the seam where the frame rail meets the shock tower rotted out?

I wouldn't recommend weilding with flexcore if it needs to hold some weight.

i told matt that i would help you guys with whatever you needed. but i told him to get gas first. and some er70s-6 wire. that flux is nasty and will never be good quality in my opinion. i might be buying a new lincon 220 welder friday from my snap on guys but im not sure yet. i know its all ready to go but i can weld with either 110 or 220. as for the metal visit research alloys they are basically a scrap yard for metal but sell complete sheets to small things and its all at scrap yard price.

also i didnt know if you were planning on welding the torque boxes up also. if you are i would not use the 110. it can be done but you will have 20 times better quallity with a good 220.

Do both sides and be done, seems as if the passenger side is the 1st to go. Try to find some 1/16 sheet metal and you will need some 1" diameter tubing to replace the supports for the k-member. Maybe these pics might help you, have any questions just ask, I already been threw it

I did the majority of it but some friends helped along the way. Car was up on a rotisserie till about a month ago. Engine bay, entire floor pan, cage, and trunk area is painted Base/Clear like you see.

i can send you some pics of what i need done. jsut need you to weld in the stuff ill be doing the rest. cutting the bad out, and prepping it, and afterwards grinding it smooth adn finishing it.

[mrtbolt64]

I can tell ya everything you need to do and what tools it will require but there is one thing I can not do and that is weld. I am machinist and cut and made all my own patches but a friend welded them all in for me. He is down and Logan other wise he may help you if you were closer to him.
