Ryan218 Posted July 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 i can now see im an idiot. the place that painted the car back in 01 sprayed rubber under coating over the rusty frame rail on the driver side and did a hillby repair. its really bad the more i dug into it. bad enough to where a few hard lauches at the track with the new motor and it wouldnt suprise me if the k-member wouldnt of ripped away from the car. the passenger side is perfect. of course thats what happen when a car sits under a car port for 90% of its life with the passenger side to the house and drive side exposed. right now. i really dont know what to do. to fix it im going to have to drop the k-member and get it out of the way. so i highly doubt the car will see the road untill spring of 2010 now.

Ryan218 Posted July 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 find a cleaner body! might be cheaper! that's not a option here. nor do i want to. its the fact that i dont have a welder. nor do i know how to weld thats gonna mess this part of it up. i dont have a trailer to even take it anyway to have it fixed. and i doubt i can even afford to pay someone to fix the rails for me. because im sure its not cheap.
