I'm getting ready to work on the 6 now that the weather is getting nice again.
One of the major projects that needs to be done is the repair of the r/r outer long.
I have most of the metal to start the repair but need some advice on the installation of the frame stiffener kit. This is also known as the clam shells and sold by restoration design. Has anyone done a step by step install for these?
I thought there was something on the r/d website but it's no longer there.
I know that I need to measure several points on the car prior to welding to confirm it's straight. I'll post pics as I go along with this repair.

I think you have to remove the consoles since they are bare metal inside and rust from the inside out.
