Re: 8.50 index build
I believe they call that rust trap you replaced a torque box.
Really amazing quality work. Might I ask what your line of work is?

Rocker/torque box was just one of several areas with rust. I kept cutting till there was no more rust. Lol Last edited by Todd Geisler; 10-16-2021 at 02:18 PM. |

Excellant workmanship. Glad you got back on the horse after having a bad crash.

Re: 8.50 index build
A couple key body pieces came in. The front end is carbon fiber from Motor City Solutions. The other piece is an original rear bumper that seems to be as rare as hens teeth. I'm converting the car from a 1989 areo nose to the 85-86 4 eye configuration and stock rear bumpers aren't reproduced and hard to find.
  Oh yea, I forgot, the carbon fiber roof skin came in as well.

Re: 8.50 index build
Awesome work thus far. The way it is progressing your new ride will be
as good or even nicer than the Malibu was. Good luck Jimmy |
