Thanks for the info. I havent done anything with the donor regal since the body pull. The 2 4x4s that are left are holding but no way i get under it to cut out metal like it is.
Yesterday morning before work i pulled all the body bolts but one off the pontiac. Drivers b pillar giving me trouble at the rust out area. If theres enough good metal on the mount im going to tack the fastener to keep it from spinning. I dont want to open the floor any more than i have to, otherwise i would just use a cutting wheel to get access.
The donor regal is solid in this area so at least ill have good factory replacement metal. Pontiac needs a bunch of rust repairs. Im hoping i can just use patch pieces without having to take apart the floor/rocker but it doesnt look good.
I still need to disconnect the pontiac brake lines/ebrake cable, steering shaft, and speedo. Everything else is ready for body off. Once off ill swap pontiac suspension and rear onto donor regal frame and that frame goes under okla regal
My Torino is ready. Shop says they repainted 80% of the car and fixed the ac, fuel leak, and transmission leak. Im shocked its done. No where to put it so it has to go to storage. I pick it up this afternoon.
Still hot. 106 yesterday. 105s this weekend. Tuesday we may see some rain and mid-hi 90s, then back to 100s/dry. This has been a brutal summer. Records are being broken. We havent had rain and its been relentlessly hot since late june with lows at 80+. Wednesday morning we had a decent few hours, high 70s but low humidity....then back to 100s and high humidity before i could get off work. This heat has slowed progress way too much. This weekend is nothing but cars.
