Kevin, Mine are COMPLETLY gone. When the AC lines were put in the entire sill supports were removed AND that entire front portion removed (portion close to the front wheel). I am watching this post close. I will be doing the same

in their zeal to put in the ac, they just peaned over the edges to not chaffe the ac lines. a little pry bar and hammer action and i have semi flat edges to put the patch on. i'll mar-hyde this area, AFTER repairing.

a heat gun and wood chisel will peel the seam seal at the front hole fast, as in a couple of minutes. this will give you more surface area to work with. you should be able to straighten out the surrounding areas pretty easily. how's the rust inside? i cleaned it out with a pointy bendy tool to get the crud at the bottom seam out.

where i live, i would deduct $500 from the price of a car that had ac installed. maybe more depending how butchered up the install was.

you mean bushings? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) piece of cake. i worried too much about how tight the races should turn on and tried a few combinations. you def know when tight becomes too tight. i have a tad more painting to do after a little welding. i could slap it together and paint later but then there's the whole overspray (black components vs silver paint) and remasking. no point in being all impatient at this time. it's not like your car is conveniently outside the door for small time projects. the whole driving to u.v. just to work on the car would get old. monique needs a 3 garage at her place out on the alley.

I need a 45 Peacemaker to shoot the assholes.... Geoff (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) |

Yep, so this morning I shipped the heads down to HAM to get refreshed and bored out.
Looks like the rain isn't slowing down at all so perfect time to go work in the driveway.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) I would like to thank my Boss for not letting take off an afternoon this week so I could work on it on a dry day.
