Cancer

This is what car heads call "cancer" and is one of the primary reasons for this rebuild project. This was the right front inner fender removed after a lot of cutting and cussing because most of the bolts had rusted so badly. Dremel tool with a cut off wheel FTW.

This was the radiator core support…… also had to be cut out.

After removing the core support, we found that the body mounts were pretty much toast. We also spotted a broken sway bar linkage.

At the end of the surgery to remove the cancer, we had this sad looking heap.

But all the bad stuff had been removed and stitching the patient back together is next.
