Mike's '67 Fastback Featuring Super Slow Progress
Spent some time out with the car today and surprised the wife with the progress. I removed the seats, found the rear bench was not bolted down. Got the carpet out and the rear cargo area. The front and rear floor pans have been replaced at some point. Won't be sure of the quality of the work until I strip the paint and sealer, but an relieved to find mostly solid metal from the rear seats forward. Hopefully this means I can move forward with replacing the front rails sooner. Behind the rear seats is a different story. The passenger side has a hole about the size of a baseball right above the frame rail, which appears to be capped. :banghead: So now it looks like the front and rear rails need replaced, this will be a great learning experience. I did however find a box with four ralley wheel center caps I didn't know I had and some other small parts I ordered years ago!
