Alright, actual pics now instead of drawings. Excuse the poor quality - they're off my phone.
I cut out the trunk pan because, well, it was trashed. And now it allows me a lot more access to my suspension. It'll make it SO much easier to clean up the metal, re-do my frame rails, and do final welding on it.
So now, I'm trying to set up my panhard, since I finally got my spacers drilled out. I'm using a drag link I bought for my '69 K20, but never used. It's long, round, strong, and I happened to already have it. So voila, it'll get used. Now just to figure out the ends and such, and we're home free. I may just end up using the stock ends, but there are better options. They just cost money, haha.
I think I'm going to end up ordering a 4x8 sheet of 16 gauge for my floor and trunk, and a few other patches that I'll need it for. It's $55, plus tax, through a local metal shop.
And that's about where it sits as we speak. I'll be sure to keep you posted as I try to get some more done on this wreck.
