The car I bought in the desert is about as rust free as I've ever seen in the unrestored world. But the jack points were missing. Someone had bondo'ed over them and painted. I was scared as to what I would find, but dug into them. I found that heating it with a torch and pulling out with a screw driver worked well. I had hoped that as both were removed, it was not rust that caused them to be removed. This is what I found.

Looked mostly like surface rust, I had hoped that someone dorked up the jack point and decided to remove so that they would look the same, I think that's what happened as they looked good.

Left side, start to finish.
  Find the sweet spot to match up with rocker cover. As a final detail I line the rivet holes up so they don't have to be re-drilled. I also trim the tube so that 7mm is outside the rocker panel.      Note : I do drill the drain holes on my cars. But not customer cars unless asked. |

Those look awesome. Great work. Makes me feel bad for deleting mine, but then again I live on an Island in the middle of a rain forest!
