I only need to fit the stinger in there to weld not the whole welder lol don’t sweat it I’ll be OK
That part of the frame is way up inbetween the rear floor pan and the rocker panel. You can probably get to it if you lift the body high enough, no way you would be able to see it though lol.

Thanks for the advice or take it with a grain of salt and again don’t worry I’ll be OK

Here is a pic of mine, you can see how high the frame sits into the body. Also need to plate the frame too, that's a pita. I don't think we had to plate the frame for the front bars.

Today I removed the pump and box together didn’t feel like cleaning oil up
All the body bushing bolt came out fairly easy
Lifted up the body a little have to remove the emergency break tomorrow to continue oops
Pulled the rear bumper going to fix the left rear frame section first
Haven’t decided on what bushings to buy solid or polyurethane or the old hockey puck

It’s amazing how those rear tails rot out. I might have access to a set if your interested. I’ll bet that the frame is fine at the weld point where they are attached.
