67 barracuda notchback restoration
All it really would have needed was 2 passenger side floorboard patches. The floors of the car were that clean except apparently the 3 speed column shift broke and the previous owner cut a nasty hole in the floor for a failed attempt at a home brewed 3 speed floor shift. During their torch session they cut completely through the transmission crossmember. This may have been when the car was parked and left. It never looked like they could get some sort of linkage figured out.
At this point it needs the floor pulled out to change the hacked in half crossmember. I levelled the car on jackstands and temp welded 2" square tube to the frame rails and up to the rockers to hold the rails straight. Then the floor and remainder of the crossmember was removed.
