For some reason I'm not able to post photos. I am a paid member unless its expired and I'm not aware. I will the add photos once this gets straightened out.
This is my first restoration of any car. I can't tell you how many people told me it wasn't worth restoring. Unfortunately that just gave me the conviction to give it a shot.
Okay, so this weekend I finally replaced the inner rockers with 2x4 steel. I still need to clean up and treat the remaining surface rust. They are held in place with plug welds on the top and tack welds on the ends. Luckily, as bad as things were, I've still got level doors.
Next I have to do some similar work on the passenger side front suspension frame, and then I'll get it up on a rotisserie and be able to finish welding the rails from underneath.
Thanks to all of the great advice I found on this forum this cancer riddled field car just might drive again someday.
