Okay, decided to take a few phone photos of some of the rot on Christine today. I have some sort of movement underneath that I am trying to pinpoint and solve. Noticed the rot seems to be a little bad on the passenger side. So, here's the question, Would you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) this car with a 2056 and stock injection in it? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) She pulls really strong since the rebuild a couple months ago.

That's what's left of the backbone of your car. So no, i wouldn't drive it that way ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

That is the pass side long under the hell hole. With a big ass crack and lots of rust. It needs fixed before the car starts to fold up. Chritine deserves to have that patched up!

That is right by the jacking point behind the jack post. Just in front of the suspension ear. Looks like the rear of the floor pan is ready to drop on the ground. It is a little worse now than when I drove her to the Buttercup build 814 miles each way, but not a lot worse. So much for a good ol blue plate California car.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Zach but it is slow going as it is trying to pay Scott for the one he already has. I hate to defer any funds away from that project. Thinking of a temporary patch until the other is finished. Was hoping to drive Christine the 900+ miles to Hershey next year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Wrapped steel plate with stainless rivets from front wheel well to a 45 at the rear long and continue up and around to engine bay. Tack/glob the shit out of it and drive sheet metal screws threw a select 50 odd locations around the "U" you create. This should extend halfway under the pan and eliminate the donut in the rear with plate. Of course I would never do this shit to any of my cars, short of the '70 out back that I purchased just like above.

This is a disclaimer to the above wackonoia and releases me from any indemnity from any idiot who tries it and tells...

Yep, well it's a pretty easy fix. Your problem is the injection. Switching to carbs should solve it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Some friend you are, Shoe, letting me drive Christine several hundred miles from Eureka Springs to Memphis. I know you want my LE, but c'mon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I say patch her up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and drive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

I love a good project and the toughest thing is starting one. I'm not ready for Scott to start work on my car til I can safely hand him $12k. I'd hate to tie up his busy shop too much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

It is okay Steve, she was like that when you drove her down the Tail of the Dragon too! She is one tough bitch, she just keeps on going. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Shoe:

I would find a way to patch that until a proper repair can be made. Yes these cars are tough, but that looks pretty bad.

After getting my car running, I tore around the neighborhood for a few weeks with no tags, registration or insurance...after starting the restoraion, I realized how much could have gone wrong. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Doesn't appear safe to drive down the road for yourself or others on the road.

Your passenger seat belt mount down by the long might be compromised. Be careful.
