About to Dive into a B Body

[Adam Ross]

Hello from (mostly) rainy and wet WEST TN!!! Just moved back here from SoCal due to my dad being really ill, and brought back a cherry 4 door A body with me (shhh...wrong forum). When I got the little 72, I *really* wanted a 64 Polara instead but none to be found...well, now I have a local fellah who wants to trade his 64 4 door Polara for my 72 Dart! My only reservation is that both the front floorboards have decent size holes in them, but doesn't appear to have much rust elsewhere...which is weird. Anyway, we are meeting up in the next few weeks for the trade (did I say local? I meant "local"...like 2 hours away lol). Here's to hoping I made the right decision!

Welcome to the forum. If the only rust is in the front floor pan, you are a lucky guy.

Welcome to the forum, and welcome back to the midwest/south.

Welcome! Check the cowling and firewall for rust. That's a known area on that year and it's more involved to repair it.

Welcome. Culture shock ahead.

Yeah, what KryslerKid said.Rusted out floors ment leaky windshield. Check cowl and get a good look up under the dash in the cowl area.

As said check the cowl outside and inside look at the firewall under the dash ,also look at the very bottoms of front fenders there is a brace in there that can cause rust . My 64' Polara only had a small amount of rust in both [ driver's side worst] front floor boards . Patch panels were only about $59 bucks per side,no biggie. Good luck and have fun with it!.
