I cut the torque boxes off the old frame rails and even tho they were the worst welds I've ever seen, they were a PITA to get off! I will sandblast them tomorrow, then bang out the dents, grind the old welds off and repair some rust holes on them. There's rust thru in one spot on each one, but I'll see how they look after blasting... There might be more repairs. I was going to buy new ones, but they don't look like the original ones at all so I will save these, they aren't to bad.
Here is the lower sections of firewall (the light green one is obviously from my car) the other one is from the California front clip, but the pinch weld flange is a little banged up, so I'll sandblast them both and cut the rust out of the one from my car and use the other as a patch and butt weld it in.. Then but weld the repaired one back into my car.
