    got my torque box in the other day the seat belt bolt is in the wrong location compared to mine and must be an older car thing according to google, other f body forums and youtube. No big deal. I got more to order still need more patch panels. They also forgot to drill one hole ad of course...

    I'm far too picky lol I'd probably find tons in the camaro I'd want changed too, but oh well. I'm just kinda hanging around waiting not sure what I'll do. You shouldn't feel bad lol I decided to sell it and did. At this point I'm sure it'd faster and cheaper and easier to fix then the TA, same...

    same as the last above but I know the pic sucks, the front area of this pic is like a v shaped portion and it's bare steel, well it got such a hit in back is caused that bow out or buckle. That area does raise up there factory but this is more in the tunnel and buckled out. a peek inside the...

    pin hole near the silver tape crap, scale, pits, and the big hole you can see on the underside near the left torque box section from way up above lol. this is the driver's side, it's where everything meets, inner and outer rocker, wheel well, inner 1/4 etc. I think after looking I may be...

    These are all the rear underseat pan on the pass. side. All around the seat belt retractor, the rearmost new piece I found rot in after this pan, and the inner 1/4 I found before. The second to last is the new area in that rear pan it was covered in seam sealer and lays on top the frame rail in...

    sorry for bad quality but this is the between the seat pan of the driver's side, it has holes scattered everywhere. same pan a new spot that showed up This is the area of the front driver's floor. As well as the toe board. There's pin holes throughout, few in the actual overlap joint...

    just more of the rust and yea I found more lol this is just the cut off crossmember that was cut and un attached anymore and most of the torque box section removed too. you can see the peekaboo I found from the top showing thru where the underseat pan had rotted from the bottom up I guess...

    75 C10 Lower Kit Suggest 4/5

    because spindles keep the geometry right springs change it. you can buy the axle flip kit brackets for like 35-50 by themselves on ebay, now they don't ome with new u bolts, and getting those is a very good idea. I don't see the need for new top plates. You can buy the spindles and then use...

    I'm not even sure. I haven't touched the doors or fenders yet. I figure they are filled with filler because of that curve body line supposed to be at the bottom and since they used flat steel on the fenders, front 1/4's patch between door and tire, and then stair stepped the rear patch of the...

    and of course some of the wheel well areas shown but my how some filler and paint hide alot of ugly for at least a lil while....

    you can kind of see some of the rust showing before hand. I can see that this side looks to extend up past the patch as the patches are lower then the stock marker light bottom. I see filler in the top of this over the rust where the ground it back?

    the roof hole looks warped and up and down to me before the patch even got it worse lol.

    They may not have been the ones who cut the brace but they did this patch, and that's where the cut brace is and these welds are the same tacks not meeting.

    This junk some patchwork under neath and most likely not a solid weld just tacks that don't touch. Plus it must have had a huge dent the full length of the trunk.

    and this is what IO'm worried abou ton the fenders, same thing I bet with filler removed it's nothing more then tacks ground down, and the TA fenders down low have a roll in them and they used flat steel as patches so there's no roll and the doors have it gone, 1/4's as well and we know why...

    this of course is that rear outer tail pan I know the inner is shot and wasn't really touched. I would be willing to beat with the seam sealer removed it looks exactly like this, no solid finished weld, maybe ground down maybe not, and just rusty steel not treated or anything.

    @bucket I know I had these posted in here but here they are aain this is some of the things that make me worry about the rest after actually tearing into the 1/4 panel patches and such. I think the last maybe on the rocker panel have to check it for their welds. That worries me because...

    What's the tool you have owned the longest?

    same here all my tools were my dad's, he had them along time. He bought me a socket set and screwdriver set when I was in highschool along with a paint gun, DA and air file. I doubt I have the screw drivers maybe 1 or 2 somewhere, the socket set I had somewhere, the air tools I have for sure in...

    yea it'd really need it on both sides. I've got more pin holes popping up around the torque box area as well so it just keeps adding up. I'm really considering a 1 piece floor pan, be alot of plug welds that way but still have a butt weld at the firewall or maybe flange and plug weld then...

    Doing all of this revealed that the flange where the drop off meets the trunk pan is crap so gonna have to maybe use some angl eiron and make it better, not looking to remove a trunk pan. It also showed that the outer wheel house in back had some issues a piece of flat square metal just bent...
