Here are the repairs/replacement of the rear floor jack points.

All of the prefabricated replacement panels used so far have been supplied by Restoration Desing and have fit nicely.

Nice job on those bumper mount areas! I just did mine a couple months ago and it’s a pain in the ass place to work, there’s really no room in there.

I love the hellhole repair method.
Step one: remove firewall.

Great work

Actually, the bottom of the firewall was rusted through. We needed to replace it anyway and we found a NOS panel so the old one came out. It did make access to the hell hole easier.
