The car and I just celebrated our 30th birthday. Great huh..nope.. http://www.chevelles.com/forum/mad.gif I have the frame out, been sandblastin on it, everything goin great. Frame is excellent near the A arms.

Tonight I noticed a area about 6"x6" of rough undercoating on the LR side just behind where it starts to box again.

Got the torch out started to melt and scrape, and there it was...a patch http://www.chevelles.com/forum/frown.gif

I think I can grind it down and make it look fine to me but what a bummer!

The patch is about 3"X2" on the bottom.

I was thinkin about goin just outside Sioux City Iowa where I bought it 16 years ago and killing the guy..but just chalked it up to old age. Thanks for listening to me vent.

haha, thats nothing,the guy hauled cattle in the back,its been rolled, dropped, shot a couple times, caught on fire dropped a drive shaft , found 15 different types of bolts holding the front seat down, had to cut off 4 different types of motor mounts. 1/2 inch of plastic coating the whole left side of the car.........but its an original SS car, haha im not exaggerating either, it was the town slut, everyone had their hands in it.

Our last fight was my fault: My wife asked me "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!"

Well today at the shop a guy was sanding his floor pans and was very upset to find that the whole thind was paintsticks and fiberglass.

This gives credence to the saying
"IGNORANCE IS BLISS"
If the patch lasted 16 years, IT was done right.
I been surprized many times by the ingenunity of FIXES and Fillers. IE.
Street sign, mail boxes, aluminum siding, steel whool. tape all kinds, widow screening
news paper/cardboard and the weirdest was
FAMININE NAPKINS !! used to fill a rusted void in rusted 66 Ply Satalite front lowere 1/4. When I asked the owner about his Backyard body fix, His logic seemed sound. " I used the Kotex to insure it would absorb all the moisture, if any got in there !!!!!"

GO figure
