How did you remove the spot welds? Did you use a good grinder to grind away the spot weld just before the bottom panel and then use a chisel? Keep truckin'..... Thanks..

Dude - you need to by a spot weld cutter
nope. What he is doing is the best method. Spotweld cutters are great when you want to save the top and bottom panels, but on a rusty crusty trunkfloor the grind thru method is WAY easier and more effective.

TexasPowerRam... I'm located just outside of Saginaw off of business 287, about a mile from the Saginaw airport. Challenger 1 thanks for your input...funny you would post your ideas about blasting, I have been browsing the web for the last hour or so looking at blasters to do the very thing you suggested. Id like to blast the frame rails and support structure then Rust Bullet them before installing the new metal.

I knew that was on your your mind from looking at your pictures. Good luck with it.
