Hi guys,
I am about to embark on the couragous journey of repairing the rust damage to my 66 Polara properly.
I have cautiously jacked the car up a few times in the past from the front stub frame and the rear differential housing to place on jack stands.
I have noted that there is a small amount of flex in the body at the rear of the top of the door seams and want to know what amount of flex can be considered normal.
I see with mine there is amount 1/8" to 3/16" gap increase when I have the jack stands under the rear axle and jack stands under the rear Stub Frame mounts(under the firewall) area.
Have a look at what I have found to date..
I love when bondo & fiberglass mesh are used for structural repairs..
Caution, it is not for the faint of heart...:icon_pale: :icon_pale: :icon_pale:
