    Frame rail/torque box/firewall replacement help

    When replacing the frame rails after the new torque boxes are installed does the new firewall need to be in first? Or does the frame rail weld just to the box and then the toeboards that go over the torque boxes? In other words do the frame rails weld to the firewall at all? And can you re-use...

    CJ Pony Parts.....Never again!!

    Well looks like the rear valance isnt my only problem.What look liked alot of surface rust turned out to be swiss cheese...theres just too much rust to save it. Not worth putting that kind of money into a "a" code coupe. I listed it in the classifieds forum for parts. Hate to do it but its just...

Until i went to test fit it and noticed the almost 1/2 inch gap on either side from the valance to the quarters!! Thats the...

    Help with my VIN Tag Please!!

    I do have a clean title and the vin matches the fender apron and the door warranty tag. I thought it was illegal to have a new tag made? I have looked everywhere for a blank or someone who can make them with no luck and just figured nobody will do it.

    Help with my VIN Tag Please!!

    I am about to part this car out unless i can find a way to clean up and save whats left of this tag without it looking questionable. I originally bought the car to restore but with the tag in such bad condition i dont know if it is wise to do that. I know obviously it is illegal to duplicate a...

    Tail Light Removal

    Thanks for the help.I didnt realize they just pry off after you take the bolts off. They were stuck on there pretty good thats why i couldnt get them off by pulling on them. A little help from a screwdriver did the trick.Thanks.

    FS:Parting out 68 Coupe

    1968 coupe. Was going to restore it but for what it would cost for new sheetmetal alone i could buy a driveable car. The VIN tag is coroded and in a few more years probably wont be readable.Not much sense restoring a car if you cant verify the VIN. Still have some good parts on it. I will list...

    I have a 68 coupe roof up in Wisconsin.Dont know if thats any better distance wise for you. I was going to restore the car but the VIn tag on the dash is pretty coroded. No since dumping a bunch of money into a car i wont be able to verify when it corodes all the way.
