67/68/69 cuda dilemma
This afternoon was some more unfucking of this car. I wanted to get these tubs out and see how bad it really is underneath it all, we drilled out the all the pop rivets and jerked these wacky things out.
Lo and behold, the guy who butchered em in, cut the floor pan past the framerail flanges, then beat the outboard framerail flanges down flat against the framerail. Pretty brutal, but waaay better than I anticipated it was gonna look like under there. I was expecting that flange to be just cut off and that I would have to remake it and weld it onto the framerails. I will be unbending these and straightening them back out with a hammer and dolley.
My lil buddy is giving the thumbs down to the hacked in ****, and a big thumbs up to these being gone from this car. In the words of Mr. Mackey from South park "Aluminum tubs are bad Mkay"
