So, my wife and I recently purchased this beauty! She's a 73 55 and we love her to death. For now she is my DD, but some mods will be done. For now I have only the pics that we had right when we got her and from the previous owner. A major concern that i have is one major rust spot in the floor board of the passenger front. Does anyone know good welder around gville that could help me out? a part of the frame is actually rusted out with this hole and a mechanic last weekend told me that if i came up to a stop and slammed on the brakes wrong the vehicle would pull toward the front pass. with the hole and possibly flip. This made my wife a little edgy. So now, instead of going straight into painting it myself (even though my wife loves the desert tan, i want it back to an original cygnus white/forest green), I am looking to get this fixed. I've welded before and my dad has done miracles with some cars, but he has even told me that this is a major job. we seem to think that when the guy added about 3 in of leaf springs, the bounce created a break right where the springs anchor to the body and then the rust started . . . What I will do is get pics of the area and see if anyone could help me out!! Thanks guys!
Also, I do not get many chances to check mud, so if i do not respond too quickly then know its for work reasons or i'm just having fun with the new "baby"/55. Thanks!
