I've been battling a rotator cuff injury for the past 6 weeks and it's finally getting to where I can finally do a little more with the cars. I decided to pull the rockers on the '76 to see what I was facing. I'm pretty sure neither rocker has been pulled since new.
Imagine my surprise to see solid longs and jack points! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The west coasters probably won't appreciate it; however, after all the long and hell hole rust in my green car (see the scottyb thread on my car) I am excited to see this on a project car! There is a lot of dirt on them (these pictures are right after pulling the rockers); but, the screwdriver test shows them to be solid. There is still rust in the rear passenger floor and a few spots here and there. Overall, it's less than I expected.

Nice score! Had shoulder surgery three years ago. Still not 100%. Takes time.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) My rotator cuff is frayed...limits motion in certain ranges and hurts like hell in others! This car came from Alabama....had a couple pounds of Alabama dirt trapped in those rockers. I was expecting the worst! |

Your 75 is an east coast car, bet the rockers look even better.
Are you ready to sell my car back? You have too many! |

Well...the car I bought from you isn't a project car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) It was well cared for from the beginning. I'm not ready to sell back your car...I just washed and waxed it this weekend...it's looking good. You may have to wait a while! My oldest son and I went for a 50 mile drive in it Sunday morning. He likes this car the best of all of them. You can never have too many 914's! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
