I have some rust to deal with and need to strengthen the longs. How do I determine if the outer or inner reinforcement kits are a better way to go? Does it depend on where the rust is?
Thanks in advance. Larry Attached image(s)

You're definitely needing a some floor pieces, but the pic of the long doesn't look all that bad to me (and I've seen bad ones...too bad they're mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) ). Mark Bland (Engman) makes a great inner long/rear firewall re-enforcement kit, and Brad Mayeur (can't recall his 'club' name) has some 'bad-ass' outer long stiffener kits. If you're planning on replacing them with stock parts I believe that the general concensus is Restoration Design:
http://www.restoration-design.com/ I've heard good things about their parts, and I'll probably have some first hand knowledge about their stuff before it's all said and done. Wouldn't hurt to do a search on long replacement, I've seen quite a few well photographically documented repair threads listed here. Good Luck! Kevin |
