Thanks, ya we are not going to be left with much of an original car to say the least lol, but your right there have been worse!
I hear ya, sometimes its a struggle to find time to work on these cars, and they really take a lot of time to make any progress or change.
oh wow..that puts my mind at ease. Yours being completely original and mine only being off by 1/8" from yours. Yes, i bought the Goodmark rails, as i figured i would splurge on things like cowl, quarters, tail panel, fenders, etc in AMD metal because you see them. I figured a frame rail would all be the same...lol. I've also discovered where the rails bend outward and meet the crossmember, the bend might be a little extreme, im about 3/4" to wide, but luckily at that length they are easily manipulated and can be pushed back over and welded without to much tension on them.
LOL that very well could be! This stuff came through keystone! I wasn't expecting this stuff the be easy to fit, especially buying some goodmark parts instead of all AMD, but my god..were not talking a 1/4" here, or a 1/2" there. These parts are like an inch or more from fitting some of them, like someone sat down and sketched the piece on paper and said, "there thats looks like a part from a charger, Go stamp that out pal"
i bought that order prob a little over a year ago, so its safe to say i got the same bad batch if not the parts you returned. Thanks alot lol
no it didnt take them long at all to get some of the parts, but it was a large order and i waited until everything came in to get everything at once. but there was a bunch of stuff that was there like within the first 2-3 days. cant remember what they were tho.
Any idea if the crossmember is suppose to have a bow in it? i cant tell from my old one because it is so rotted and pieced
