Thanks for noticing! If you feel any better about it, the jackstands are in their lowest positions. I also have straps clamping the car down to the wooden platform. The car was leveled using a laser and shimmed at the low corners. This is something I did so that I could easily get into the engine bay when I was redoing the hell hole and reinforcing both suspension consoles.

Everybody asks me how I'm gonna get the car back down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Very nice work!

Will you inject any kind of rust protection in between all these various layers that you rebuilt or the inside of the box will stay as bare metal?

The inside of the long and the every space I had access to (including up inside the pillar) were Ospho'd and then primered or painted with Rustoleum rattle bomb. The only part that's still bare inside is the box I just installed (plus areas that burned off near the welds). There are two drain holes at the bottom in the factory location and I'm still considering the best way to get some stuff in there.

OK, this is similar to what I'm doing. I'm using epoxy primer, except that the areas where I know will get welded, I mask it of from the paint and then paint it with Weld through primer.

In hollow areas that not accessible, I was thinking of spraying the Eastwood stuff that comes in a can with a flexible wand. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

How did you spay Ospho in the longs? Did you have any spray gun or wand? I was thinking of doing this via the oblong holes in the cabin.

I didn't really have to do any spraying. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The longs were both wide open. For the rear suspension console part of the frame, I made a long brush with a coat hanger and Ospho'd the inside of it. Moving forward, anything I built or repaired, I also Ospho'd and then coated as best I could. When you have the car cut apart, you can look inside the channels and you're seeing a lot of bare steel. I was extremely paranoid when I was doing the driver's side of the car and I was trying to get POR-15 everywhere--but then I inevitably had to weld to the other side of the treated steel which burned the stuff off. I suppose the best way is to wait until done and get the spray treatment everywhere you can...but this car lasted as a daily driver for 30+ years before I started on it. I'm not losing sleep about my new metal rusting through soon from the back side. When done this car will see way less bad weather and hopefully NO road salt.

Oh, and my oblong holes in the cabin are gone now. I have also installed an Engman stiffening kit as part of this build.

Removed once the structural stuff was done. They were square tubing with turnbuckles for adjustment.

If you are welding without the doors in place or the doors braced, you are risking your door gaps. You won't know till you try to put the doors back on either.

Wow, great job recreating the sheetmetal and repairing the rust damage.

question - was the new sheetmetal custom fabricated, or available as a part that can be ordered online? If fabricated, how did you bend it? Sheetmetal brake?
