Wow, what a difference. I see what you mean about your original one being a bit rusty.

Thankyou Carl! Again what a legend.
Yes a wee bit rusty if I didn't have experience in my trade Id be utterly screwed. I'm doing some to the back next there's a couple of rotten bits and a hole. I was thinking of offering a "chassis rebuild/ steel restoring service"???

Top fabricating work. T'was in a bad way.
What's the history of the car? Where was the carport it sat in for 10years? Somewhere very wet and wild? ;)

I'm really pleased people are impressed by it! Car came from tennesse along with a death certificate as the widowed woman sold her husbands beloved car, he'd been dead 10 years or so.
I would like to help others restore their chassis if I could??

You could help and give me tips on welding. It's one thing I'm not brilliant at :(

Nice work. That was properly rotten! It makes Gez's chassis look mint!
