Re: [T3] Jim you were so right (was: Floor pan replacement)


Not ALL... I had the rustiest 73 that ever existed... died of a collapsed
frame head... but the rear wheel well seam was PERFECT!!  But my really
solid 71 had the rust problem Jim describes.  I sandblasted it all away,
painted it, and RTV'd it all shut, that was nearly 15 years ago in the days
before POR 15 and the like but the repair has held up just fine.

I think the cars in hotter climates have more of a problem because once the
factory tar undercoat cracks your toast in a few years.  Northern cars has
less cracking of the undercoating.
