Jeff.P_46 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 She's a little weathered and been around the block a few times but I think I can give her a few more good years. There is rust in the rockers but that could have been minimized if the person who sandblasted it ~10 years ago would have blown the sand out of the rocker area.....and if the person who replaced the beltline moulding would have put more then 3 clips on (looks like it takes 10 per side). This left a lot of holes for water to run in. I need to replace the rockers and the floor pans on either side of the transmission tunnel. Jeff Quote
RobertKB Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Not ugly to me. I just love that body style. Quote
Guest mikeys toy Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 It's got a late model rear end in it... is that primer or faded paint? Quote
Normspeed Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Great find. One of my favorites. Quote
Jeff.P_46 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 Has a 8" Ford rearend under it, tag say's its from a '67 Mustang. It has a faded red paint job, 350 Chevy motor and Saginaw 4-speed. Someone spent a little money on it 15-20 years ago but sitting and the weather didn't do it any good, it had a nice looking carpet and black interior but the water has gotten to both along with the floor.

Guest mikeys toy Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 the 8" ford is a damn good rearend, almost a strong as the 8 3/4 Quote
Jeff.P_46 Posted January 9, 2007 Author Report Posted January 9, 2007 Some of the worst spots (that I have found so far) Jeff Quote

vanbuskirk Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Bought some of this last week. Bob http://www.boulderbeer.com/rbcimages/SBB%206%20display.jpg Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 In that left hand picture, it looks like some of the infamous formica rocker panel trim. Quote
bob westphal Posted January 9, 2007 Report Posted January 9, 2007 Hey, that floor looks better than my P-15 coupe did before I started. Have fun!! Quote
Jeff.P_46 Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Posted January 10, 2007 Did you replace your rockers? I was thinking of forming them like the originals but then got to thinking that I can cut in a piece of 1-1/2" x 2" or 2-1/2" tubing and span the entire area from rear of the front fender to the front of the rear fender. Then tie in the sill plate at the top and what-ever it takes to go up and over the body mount bracing on the bottom and then finally tie in to the floor pan? Jeff Quote
Olddaddy Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I'd hate to see one cut up this way, but it would make a great El Plymino.......that big ass end would turn into a great pickup bed with some minor metal massage! Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 Charlie..you now must go to your corner and sit...you have a 30 minute time out for that statement... Quote
Normspeed Posted January 12, 2007 Report Posted January 12, 2007 I think Charlie's gone over to the dark side. Quote
Jeff.P_46 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Report Posted January 12, 2007 That would make it an Australian Ute Quote
