We bought a '75 roller that is nearly rust free. The hell hole is exposed and is nearly perfect. The pans are pretty good. But they do have some pin holes. We'll have them replaced to make sure all bases are covered.
But after we got the car home I noticed a small dent in the drivers side upright crumple brace in the front trunk. After taking the front bumper off, it is apparent that it has had a minor accident. The sheet metal on that side behind the bumper is rippled and wavy. About a 7 inch by 4 inch area. Also the fender is a little out of shape there. I took the headlight assembly out and it all looks perfect. No other signs of damage. Anyhow, before we invest a ton of money doing a complete bare metal, tear down restoration, what is the best way to check this chassis to make sure it is completely straight? Thanks, Steve |
