Re: under the rusty baby
In the first pic of the rocker panels you can see the metal fence post someone welded into place to keep the car from sagging there is another one on the other side.

Hmmm... well... ok.. that's quite a bit of missing steel from those inside rockers. The guy I noted in the other thread (kpauto) makes the replacement if you go the repair route. Perhaps they should have welded the fence posts inside the rockers Not sure those new torque boxes will do you much good without replacing the inside rockers so the torque boxes have something to attach to (and that will be plenty of work). Keep us posted.

Ouch!
That car needs complete stripping, a rotisserie and some good old fashioned hard work.
After seeing Groovers thread though...I have faith you can do it!
