This can't be good. The seam is separating under the battery and under the right side of the engine lid support. I also noticed a crack above the GT chassis stiffener on the same side. I searched everywhere else in the area and it looks fine. I wonder if its rusting out from the inside? Any ideas on what this means? Do I need to pull the motor to fix it? Replace the whole section or just weld it up?

I'll be up in mountain view at the Buffalo Springfield concert this weekend, but...
to be sure to not miss anything I would put it up on the lift and take my sweet time inspecting seams in that area. I usually find movement on both sides of the box. there may be some minor corrosion between the spot welds that caused initial separation. bottom seam spot welds often open up on GT stiffened cars. I like to drill for plug welds there also to re-join the stampings I see that flange looks thin. I might want to add a little metal or rplace a section battery tray is a replacement...bolted on. someone has been here before. take peek at the inside firewall behind teh drivers seat at the base take a peak at the base of the longitudinal under teh e brake dug out . |
